Clippers Say Kawhi Leonard Also Has Foot Sprain, Remains Out vs. Nuggets

Overview

• Kawhi Leonard missed his fifth straight game as the team disclosed a sprained right ankle and a significant right foot sprain.
• President of basketball operations Lawrence Frank said the injury requires time for inflammation to subside before on-court ramp-up.
• The Clippers consulted three doctors, reported Leonard is receiving two-to-three daily treatments, and expect a clearer timeline next week.
• Leonard will travel on the six-game road trip that starts in Dallas on Friday after Tyronn Lue previously said he would miss the next few games.
• Los Angeles has dropped five straight; Leonard leads the team with 24.3 points and 2.5 steals per game, and Bradley Beal is out for the season following hip surgery.
