The star of the Los Angeles trauma had nothing to do with his ACL injury, and Leonard will be examined daily. Game 4 is on Saturday, and there is a small chance that Kawhi will be on the court.
The other star of the Clippers, Paul George, will miss the entire series against the Suns and the chances of the Los Angeles franchise eliminating Phoenix don’t look very good.
