Clippers star Kawhi Leonard only plays 25 minutes, finishing with nine points and four turnovers, in a Game 3 to the Dallas Mavericks on Friday night.
In a game that became testy in the fourth quarter, the health of Kawhi Leonard was paramount for the Clippers. Leonard was listed as questionable with right knee inflammation for Game 3, and though he started Friday night, he rarely looked sharp during the Clippers’ 101-90 loss to the Dallas Mavericks at American Airlines Center. Leonard, who was in and out of the game, departed for the final time with 4:09 left and the Clippers down by 15 points.
The Mavericks now have a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series behind 22 points from Doncic and 21 from Kyrie Irving. Game 4 is Sunday in Dallas. Leonard played just 9:57 in the first half, sitting for long stretches, not entering the game in the quarter when the Clippers played small and didn’t have George available because of foul trouble. Leonard didn’t look fluid on the court, his movements often lethargic.
