Kawhi Leonard wanted to play Tues., Ty Lue said, but the team took the step of holding him out. The team that did take the court in OKC looked disjointed.
“It’s going to take at least two months to really get everything in the same groove, get set.”

Will hit a quick Space after the Warriors at Suns game (still writing Matchups for tomorrow’s mega slate).
Talking injuries, Kawhi’s knee, the LAC dud, OKC’s ridiculous rotation, Wood off the bench, Trey Murphy (!) and more. – 12:00 AM

Without PG, Kawhi and Marcus Morris, Clippers fall behind by as much as 26 before losing in OKC. Ivica Zubac had a career-high 7 blocks to go with 10 points and 14 rebounds. – 10:24 PM

League source tells @TheAthletic that Kawhi Leonard wanted to play tonight, despite knee stiffness. Leonard was not going to be scheduled to play Thursday. Staff decided to hold him out as a precaution.
It’s October, so team is not messing around. – 6:44 PM

Marcus Morris Sr. said what “hurt the most” about the 2021 play that injured Kawhi was that it was a “cheap shot … a non-competitive play.”
Now that Kawhi is back, he feels the Clippers’ season essentially has two parts: waiting for him to get back to full strength, and after pic.twitter.com/qKfbChB2P2 – 2:07 AM

Phoenix is up 15 with 2:53 to play in this fourth quarter. Marcus Morris has been really good, with 22 points, and his targeting of Landale helped spark the attempt at a comeback in the third quarter, but Phoenix has snuffed out each run. – 12:13 AM

More on this storyline
Leonard was ruled out for Tuesday night’s game against the Thunder and will miss Thursday’s second game in Oklahoma City. Clippers coach Ty Lue said Leonard has not suffered a setback with his right ACL and that the team is remaining extremely cautious with its franchise star. Leonard will fly back to Los Angeles on Wednesday to receive treatment on his knee. The Clippers will see how Leonard is feeling before determining his status for Sunday’s game against New Orleans. -via ESPN / October 25, 2022
“After shootaround, [he] experienced some stiffness in his knee,” Lue said before the Clippers played the Thunder. “And so we want to be cautious, make sure we’re doing the right thing by him, even though he wanted to play. We just thought it wasn’t smart. He can be mad at us if he wants to but just not smart right now.” -via ESPN / October 25, 2022
Mark Medina: Clippers say that Kawhi Leonard will be out for tonight’s game in Oklahoma City because of “right knee injury management.” Paul George (non-Covid illness) and Marcus Morris Sr. (personal reasons) were already ruled out. -via Twitter @MarkG_Medina / October 25, 2022
Andrew Greif: Several Clippers won’t play tomorrow in Oklahoma City. Paul George is out with a non-covid illness. Marcus Morris Sr. is out for personal reasons. And Moussa Diabate (two-way) and Jason Preston (G League) also won’t be with the team as they begin a two-game set in OKC. -via Twitter @AndrewGreif / October 24, 2022
Mike Trudell: Reggie Jackson, Paul George, Norman Powell, Marcus Morris and Ivica Zubac will start for the Clippers. Ty Lue said Kawhi Leonard will come off the bench in part to ensure he’s available to close the game, while still limiting his minutes. Said it’s the way Kawhi “felt the best.” -via Twitter @LakersReporter / October 20, 2022
Jim Owczarski: Lee added the following are out for the #Bucks also: Grayson Allen, Thanasis Antetokounmpo, George Hill (non-COVID illness). Pat Connaughton (calf), Wesley Matthews (ankle) & Khris Middleton & Joe Ingles. Serge Ibaka (management/rest) -via Twitter @JimOwczarski / October 11, 2022
Kellan Olson: Chris Paul said that when Jock Landale signed with Phoenix, his good buddy Joe Ingles put them in a group chat together. Ingles told Paul they’d get along and CP3 said Ingles was right. -via Twitter @KellanOlson / September 29, 2022
Jamal Collier: Injury updates Bucks GM Jon Horst: Says he expects Khris Middleton back sometime early in the season. Wasn’t sure about opening night, but said Middleton is making progress. Joe Ingles could be ready to play sometime in December or January -via Twitter @JamalCollier / September 27, 2022
