In the last game that Leonard had missed, Terance Mann got an opportunity to start the game, which might be the case once again on Wednesday.

Leonard scored 28 points in the Clipper’s last game that saw them win against Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday. It was the first away game for Los Angeles Clippers this season where the duo of Paul George and Leonard played together. The injury management for Leonard now means that Wednesday will not see the second.

The last game also saw Paul George score 26 as the Los Angeles Clippers extended their winning streak to six games with the 114-99 victory in Dallas. Clippers will once again want the former Oklahoma City Thunder man to come good in absence of Leonard.

The side from Los Angeles currently sit third in the Western Conference with their six game winning streak taking them their win-loss record to 13-5.
