The Los Angeles Clippers were officially eliminated from the NBA Playoffs on Tuesday night, but things could’ve turned out drastically different if Kawhi Leonard and Paul George were healthy. Unfortunately, both superstars are dealing with knee sprains. However, it appears Kawhi has a much more serious injury.
The veteran has been diagnosed with a torn meniscus, via Shams Charania:
“Clippers star Kawhi Leonard has been diagnosed with a torn meniscus in his right knee, sources tell The Athletic & Stadium. Leonard averaged 35 points in first two games of this postseason vs. Suns before the meniscus injury was revealed and he was shut down by medical staff.”
