Los Angeles Clippers All-Star Kawhi Leonard exited Tuesday night’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves due to back spasms leaving his status uncertain for the team’s upcoming road back to back games. Coach Tyronn Lue stated that Leonard had been dealing with the issue for a couple of days.

Leonard’s departure coincided with the Clippers blowing a 22 points lead and losing 118-100 to the Timberwolves. Lue expressed uncertainty about Leonard’s availability for the next games. Meanwhile, fellow All-Star James Harden is nursing a shoulder injury adding to the team’s injury concerns.

Despite the setbacks, the Clippers are determined to regroup and maintain their position in the Western Conference standings. Minnesota’s victory over the Clippers underscores the team’s resilience and desire to compete for a top spot in the West.
