The 32-year-old six-time All-Star sat out Wednesday night's road game against the Golden State Warriors after playing with the injury Monday against Minnesota.

Leonard leads the Clippers with 24.1 points per game and is second on the team with 6.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game. ___Photos You Should See View All 22 Images
