Clippers All-Star forward Kawhi Leonard will be sidelined until at least next week due to right foot soreness, the team announced.
Leonard will be reevaluated sometime next week. He has missed four of the last five games.
The first absence on April 11 was due to rest, according to the club. He sat out the next three games due to the foot injury before returning on Sunday and posting 15 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists in 23 minutes against Minnesota.
Leonard obviously must have continue to experience discomfort in the foot afterward, prompting the team to shut him down for at least the next three games. The Clippers play Portland on Tuesday, Memphis on Wednesday and Houston on Friday.
That last game against the Rockets kicks off a three-game road trip, so it’s quite possible Leonard will be out five or more games.
The Clippers currently hold the No. 3 spot in the Western Conference. Leonard is averaging 25.7 PPG, 6.7 RPG and 5.1 APG this season.
What’s up this yr …….. can we please have a good playoffs. Clippers don’t let me down this yr.
Clippers 4 seed and Lakers 5 seed
Great matchups in the first round playoffs
Lace em up and play. LeBron aside, all these “players” and their mysterious illnesses.
They don’t wanna play, that’s their right. But why are they getting paid? If it started affecting wallets, guys would be missing a lot less games.

Sports are the only event I know of that you pay to go see and the headliner doesn’t show up, and you don’t get a refund. It’s like you get tickets for Metallica and when you show up it’s a couple dudes playing air guitar, and you just watch that dumpster fire because their shirts say Metallica.
Totally agree with you phillyballers!
Just isn’t right all the restin’ for the playoffs, fans wanna watch the main guys play when they go to the arenas, not a bunch of bums, fans don’t shell out the very expensive price of tickets & the rest to see a team, they wanna see the stars of the team!
2 or 3 years ago I went to a WAS vs NYK game & KP6, Wall & DH12 were missing, so the only star around was Beal, it was such a disappointing experience when you pay very good $$$ to watch Trier, Dotson, Mitchell Robinson, Thomas Bryant, KOJ & OPJ & co tryin’ to play ball, SMH!!!
