On April 21, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued. According to Woj, Clippers star Leonard will miss today's G3 due to injury, while G4's playing status is expected to be observed daily, and the current series score between the Clippers and Suns is 1:1!
Woj said in the report that Leonard will miss today's G3 game against the Suns due to a sprained right knee. Leonard suffered an aggravated knee injury in G1 and played with him in G2, and his appearance in G4 is expected to be observed daily. In addition, this injury is not related to his previous cruciate ligament injury.
In the two playoff games that have been played, Leonard has averaged 40 minutes per game, 34.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 0.5 blocks, shooting 54.5% from the field and 60% from three-point range, and his average points per game is temporarily the first among all players in this year's playoffs. According to statistics, the Clippers have a 63.5% win rate this season with Leonard and 36.7% without Leonard.
In addition, George, who will continue to miss the game today due to a knee injury, updated his training photos on social media and wrote: "What I will not do is stop. Statistically, during the regular season this season, when neither Leonard nor George played, the Clippers had an offensive efficiency of 106 and shot 47.2 percent from the field, both of which were the worst in the league.
For the Clippers, neither core can play, which makes their situation very difficult. This also puts a lot more weight on Wilson, who will lead the Clippers alone against the Suns' Big Four in today's game.
