Los Angeles Clippers star Kawhi Leonard won't play in Sunday's series opener against the Dallas Mavericks, head coach Tyronn Lue announced, courtesy of ESPN's Ohm Youngmisuk.
Leonard missed the final eight games of the regular season due to an inflamed right knee, though his status for Sunday was up in the air after being upgraded to questionable ahead of the encounter.
When asked if the six-time All-Star would be available for Game 2 on Tuesday or in any game during the series, Lue told reporters that he was unsure. However, he added that the 32-year-old was undergoing daily assessments.
