Kawhi Leonard OUT For The Clippers!

The Los Angeles Clippers fear Kawhi Leonard has an ACL injury, and is out for Game 5 of their series with the Utah Jazz. Reports say he could possibly be out for the remainder of the series.

Leonard landed awkwardly on a drive in the 4th quarter of Game 4, and suffered a right knee sprain. Kawhi has had problems with both knees dating back all the way to 2017, resulting in the 'load management' regime he's been under ever since.

The Clippers' record this season without Kawhi in the lineup was 6-5. Safe to say, though, without him, their championship dreams have taken a huge hit.
