The superstar forward, who underwent reconstructive surgery to repair the ACL in his right knee last year, is now experiencing stiffness in the knee, according to ESPN’s Ohm Youngmisuk.
Leonard missed Tuesday’s game, a 108-94 loss to the Thunder in Oklahoma City and will miss Thursday’s game, when the Clippers (2–2) again play at the Thunder. He will fly back to Los Angeles on Wednesday to have treatment on the knee, per Youngmisuk.
Leonard, 31, has not suffered a setback, according to Clippers coach Tyronn Lue. Instead, the team is just being careful with its franchise player.
