The Western Conference series between the Utah Jazz and the Clippers is tied at 2-2 and while players of both teams cope with a number of injuries, the LA squad has suffered a big blow in front of Game 5.
According to Shams Charania, Kawhi Leonard has been diagnosed with an ACL injury and will be out indefinitely.
A huge problem for the Clippers who lose their leading star player. Kawhi scored 34 and 31 points in the previous two games which the Clippers won while also putting on a hefty defensive presence.
Meanwhile, bad news also arrived for the Phoenix Suns whose Chris Paul has entered the NBA’s COVID-19 health and safety protocols and is sidelined for an indefinite period of time, per Shams Charania.
The details aren’t known yet and his status for the start of the Western Conference Finals is up in the air. Phoenix swept the Denver Nuggets and is awaiting the victor of the above-mentioned duel.
