Kawhi Leonard to Miss 'Next Few Games' with Ankle Sprain Amidst Clippers' Skid

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard will miss the "next few games" due to a sprained ankle, coach Tyronn Lue confirmed, though he stated the injury is "nothing serious." Leonard has already missed the Clippers' last three games and is expected to sit out upcoming home contests against the Hawks and Nuggets, as well as a subsequent seven-game road trip. This injury comes as the Clippers are on a four-game losing streak and have lost five of their last six. Leonard, who has a history of injuries, played only 37 games last season and has only cleared the 65-game mark once in the past nine seasons. He is currently averaging 24.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 3.5 assists, but the team has struggled with him on the court, being outscored by 10.7 points per 100 possessions.
