Injuries are falling in this second round of the playoffs: James Harden and Kyrie Irving Brooklyn, Mike Conley Utah, Joel Embiid Philadelphia and Chris Paul Phoenix. The Clippers are not left out, since now it is Kawhi Leonard who will take a walk through the infirmary box. Following contact with Joe Ingles, the Californian winger was released at the very end of Game 4. The journalist Brian Windhorst ESPN has just announced that Kawhi will be absent for the next meeting on Wednesday Salt Lake City. He even adds that his medical status for the rest of the series remains unresolved. Bad news for Clippers fans as their franchise player was soaring at a stratospheric level over the last two victories: 65 points, 19 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 steals in aggregate.
At a press conference after Game 4, Kawhi was reassuring about the condition of his knee. We must therefore believe that this injury is more serious than expected, because it was Leonard himself who warned his teammates of his probable absence on Wednesday. The coach Tyronn Read will have to adapt his rotations and the other star of the group, Paul George, take the game a little more its account. The series is more than indecisive with 2 games everywhere and what is more, the leader of Jazz, Mike Conley could make his comeback home.
