Kawhi Leonard has missed his sixth consecutive game due to knee inflammation, raising concerns about his availability for the playoffs. Coach Ty Lue reassures that there are no current indications of the injury affecting the postseason. The Clippers suffered a 124-108 loss to the Phoenix Suns without several key players, including Paul George, James Harden, Russell Westbrook, and Ivica Zubac.
Howdy, I’m your host, Houston Mitchell. Let's get right to the news. From Broderick Turner: The Clippers ’ injury report listed Kawhi Leonard as out with right knee inflammation, the sixth consecutive game the All-Star forward has missed, which led to Coach Ty Lue being asked if his best player’s injury could bleed into the playoffs. “No, not at as of right now,” Lue said before the Clippers ran out of steam during their 124-108 loss to the Phoenix Suns in a rematch Wednesday night at Crypto.
“I’m not crystal clear on all of the noise or what any of this portal mess is about,” Alexander said Wednesday on social media. “I’m here to finish what I started and that’s chasing a natty here at USC with my teammates #FightOn.” That didn’t appear to be the plan Tuesday, as word spread of Alexander’s intention to enter the portal a second time after one season at USC. Schools like Texas already were circling. But by the next morning, Alexander’s plans had changed.
