5 years agoLos Angeles Clippers small forward Kawhi Leonard has been ruled out for Wednesday’s contest against the Milwaukee Bucks due to load management. Leonard’s absence will be his second of the season and comes as the Clippers are set to embark on a back-to-back, with his next chance of returning to action coming Thursday versus Portland. Leonard has carried an immense offensive load early in the season with Paul George still sidelined, averaging 29.3 points on 22.5 shot attempts per contest. No one player will likely replicate Leonard’s minutes or shot volume, so expect a cumulative effort from LA without their star.--Jesse Borek
