Kawhi Leonard sidelined for Game 3 against Suns.

The LA Clippers have ruled Kawhi Leonard out of Game 3 against the Phoenix Suns due to a sprained right knee. Leonard aggravated his right knee at the end of the Clippers' Game 1 victory and played through it in the Suns' Game 2 win. Leonard's injury is not related to the torn right ACL injury that kept him out of all of last season. The Clippers already are without the injured Paul George, and now have the tall task of having to defend home court against the Suns without their two franchise stars as the best-of-seven series stood at 1-1 entering Thursday night.
