Kawhi Leonard's swollen right knee will force him to the sideline for Game 4 of the first-round series against the Dallas Mavericks.
Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard has been sidelined for Game 4 on Sunday against the Dallas Mavericks because of swelling in his right knee and there is no timetable for his return to the best-of-seven Western Conference first-round series, said Lawrence Frank, the team's president of basketball operations. Leonard missed Game 1 of the series that the Clippers won, returned to play 34 minutes and 55 seconds in Game 2 and just 24:32 in Game 3.
” Frank said Leoand wanted to play, but that “he’s obviously restricted” and that even using their best player as a second option in the corner was not a viable plan for a Clippers team that was trailing 2-1 in the series. “Game 2, he felt fine. It was basically condition, rhythm, timing,” Frank said. “The following night some of the swelling came back. We were comfortable with what the amount of swelling was. We obviously reduced his minutes and played him in a different way.
