LA Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard will miss Monday’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, sources told ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne.
Leonard suffered a left knee contusion in the second half of the Clippers’ loss to the Houston Rockets on Wednesday and did not play against New Orleans on Thursday or Atlanta on Saturday.
Leonard has missed five of the Clippers’ 14 games this season and has yet to play alongside teammate Paul George, who made his Clippers debut on Thursday.
George has helped mitigate Leonard’s absence, having scored 70 points in just 44 minutes in the past two games.
Leonard has been effective as well, when he has been on the court, averaging 26.8 points per game to go with a career-high six assists.
