Kawhi Leonard’s right knee is now a major concern for the Los Angeles Clippers.

The All-NBA forward sat out Los Angeles’ 119-111 Game 5 victory over the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night with what the Clippers are calling a sprain. A person with knowledge of the matter said Leonard will need more testing and evaluation, raising questions about his availability going forward.
