"INGLEWOOD, Calif. -- Kawhi Leonard will miss "the next few games" for the LA Clippers due to a sprained ankle, coach Tyronn Lue says. Leonard missed his third straight game Saturday night when the Clippers hosted the Phoenix Suns. Lue wasn't precise about the nature of the 34-year-old Leonard's injury or the length of his absence, but the coach said medical tests on Leonard's ankle indicated the injury likely wouldn't be a long-term problem."
"The Clippers have home games on Monday and Wednesday before they begin a stretch of seven straight road games over the following two weeks on Friday. Leonard played in the first three games of the season for Los Angeles, averaging 24.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. He scored 27 points while playing 37 minutes in the Clippers' loss to Miami last Monday."
