From what we can gauge on Twitter, the LA Clippers fan base is as anxious as ever to see Kawhi Leonard make his debut. Thursday seemed like the first real chance for him to make his first appearance in a Clippers uniform, as LA will host the Denver Nuggets in their preseason home opener. Unfortunately, though, Leonard will sit out.
Per the Orange County Register’s Mirjam Swanson, Leonard will miss the game due to rest. Rodney McGruder will also miss Thursday’s game with a right ankle sprain, and Paul George is expected to be out until November as he continues his rehabilitation assignment.
