PLAYA VISTA, Calif. -- Kawhi Leonard will sit out his second game this season due to load management and miss a marquee matchup against reigning MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo on Wednesday night when the LA Clippers face the Milwaukee Bucks.
Wednesday's game is the first of a back-to-back set for the Clippers at Staples Center. Leonard is expected to play against Portland on Thursday night.
The Clippers' official designation for Leonard not playing is "load management (knee)." This is the second time he will sit out a nationally televised game with that designation.
