The Los Angeles Clippers face playoff elimination in Friday’s Game 6 versus the Dallas Mavericks. Kawhi Leonard once again won’t be in the Clippers’ lineup with their season on the line.
The Mavs hold a 3-2 lead in their first-round NBA playoff series after blowing out the Clippers, 123–93, in Game 5 on Wednesday.
Leonard has only played in Games 2 and 3 of the series while dealing with right knee inflammation. Even when the veteran star has been able to play, he hasn’t been effective, scoring a combined 24 points in his two games on 11-for-24 shooting.
In addition to Leonard, Los Angeles also won’t have Terance Mann available, according to reports. Mann had started the previous five games, averaging 8.4 points and 4.8 rebounds.
