Kawhi Leonard won’t be playing Game 4 either…

As one might fear, Kawhi Leonard (23.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.4 steals) will not be able to play Game 4 of the first round between the Suns and Clippers.

Still bothered by his sprained right knee, which had forced him to miss Game 3, the All-Star winger will have to watch his teammates once again from the bench trying to come back to 2-2 in this series. Nevertheless, it is not excluded that he returns for Game 5, as his injury is managed day by day.

We remember that Kawhi Leonard was injured in Game 1, on the same knee operated on two years ago for a ruptured ligament, and that he had managed to endure the pain to participate in Game 2. Even if the operated ligament is not affected, “The Klaw” is in no condition to play again and, without Paul George or him, Los Angeles will have to grit their teeth not to turn at 1-3 against Phoenix.

For Tyronn Lue, Game 3 was played out on details despite the absences of Paul George and Kawhi Leonard, and he gave avenues for improvement.

“You just have to be a little smarter. The most important thing is to pay attention to the ball, to continue to attack the painting, to attack them and to bet on our physicality. I know they shot 46 free throws, but we have to be physical. We can’t give them free rein, and we did a good job. But we can be smarter, like not making mistakes 10 meters from the basket in the bonus, or things like that. »
