Clippers' Kawhi Leonard to sit out vs. Hawks with left knee contusion

LOS ANGELES -- The LA Clippers will have to wait a little longer before seeing Kawhi Leonard and Paul George play in their first game together this season.

Leonard was ruled out of Saturday night's game against the Atlanta Hawks due to a left knee contusion. It will be his second straight missed game after he also sat out the tail end of a back-to-back set Thursday due to left knee injury management.

Patrick Beverley, who has a sore left calf, also will miss Saturday's game.

Clippers coach Doc Rivers said Leonard suffered the left knee contusion Wednesday during the Clippers' 102-93 loss at Houston.
