The Clippers' injury report listed Kawhi Leonard as out with right knee inflammation, the sixth consecutive game the All-Star forward has missed, which led to Coach Ty Lue being asked if his best player's injury could bleed into the playoffs. 'No, not at as of right now,' Lue said before the Clippers ran out of steam during their 124-108 loss to the Phoenix Suns in a rematch Wednesday night at Crypto.com Arena.
Even depleted, Lue had his group playing hard and with a purpose against a Suns team fighting for playoff positioning in the Western Conference. Brandon Boston Jr. got an opportunity to play more, and he did his thing with a season-high 23 points. Tucker added a season-high 10 points, going four-for-five from the field.
