"Not playing Sunday ended Leonard's career-high regular-season streak of 57 straight games with 20 or more points, leaving him tied with Bob McAdoo for the longest in franchise history."
"Leonard's absence from Game 82 doesn't affect his ability to contend for postseason honors, including All-NBA."
