LA Clippers' Kawhi Leonard has surgery to repair partial tear of right ACL

LA Clippers All-Star forward Kawhi Leonard underwent successful surgery Tuesday to repair a partial tear of the ACL in his right knee, the team announced.

In their release, the Clippers said there was no timetable for his return.

Leonard was injured during the fourth quarter of Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Utah Jazz on June 14. He missed Los Angeles' final eight playoff games with what the team called a sprained right knee.

The Clippers rallied from a 2-0 series deficit to beat the Jazz in six games, before being eliminated in six games by the Phoenix Suns in the Western Conference finals.
