Team officials cite three-doctor concurrence with a cautious ramp-up ahead.

Overview

  • Leonard missed his fifth straight game Wednesday after being ruled out against the Nuggets.
  • Clippers president Lawrence Frank said a right ankle sprain triggered a significant sprain in Leonard’s right foot on Nov. 3 versus the Heat.
  • Leonard is receiving multiple daily treatments focused on reducing inflammation before resuming on-court work.
  • He will travel on the upcoming six-game road trip that opens Friday in Dallas, with status to be reassessed next week.
  • Los Angeles has dropped five in a row, and reserve guard Bradley Beal is out for the season following a fractured hip that requires surgery.
