Los Angeles Clippers' Kawhi Leonard to sit out vs. Utah Jazz for load management

SALT LAKE CITY -- LA Clippers star Kawhi Leonard will sit out Wednesday night's game against the Utah Jazz and play Thursday against the San Antonio Spurs, coach Doc Rivers said.

It's the first game that Leonard will miss with the Clippers due to load management. Rivers said the franchise will determine when Leonard will rest on a "case-by-case" basis, adding that there is no set plan to always rest the two-time NBA Finals MVP on one end of a back-to-back.
