Clippers' Kawhi Leonard Out Saturday vs. Hornets; Remains Indefinitely Sidelined

Kawhi Leonard (ankle) will not play in Saturday's game against the Hornets, as reported by independent NBA writer Justin Russo. Despite being a partial practice participant Thursday, the Clippers have not cleared him for contact. The star forward remains sidelined indefinitely with an ankle sprain. In his continued absence, Nicolas Batum and Kobe Sanders are expected to see an increase in their streaming appeal and playing time.
