LA Clippers star Kawhi Leonard has been ruled out of Monday night’s game against the Spurs due to a left ankle sprain.
Leonard suffered the injury late in Saturday’s home loss to the Kings. He limped off with 9:27 left in the fourth quarter after landing awkwardly while backpedaling and guarding DeMar DeRozan.
He did not return to the game. He finished with 31 points for the Clippers, his 45th consecutive game with at least 20 points — a franchise record.
Leonard is averaging a career-best 28.3 points in 53 games this season but can only miss two more games to meet the 65-games played threshold to qualify for end-of-season awards.
The Spurs, meanwhile, will be without center Luke Kornet and rookie Dylan Harper in Monday’s game
