Clippers reporter Farbod Esnaashari said leonard suffered a cruciate ligament injury, and he told his teammates the news yesterday. Leonard is likely to miss all of the remaining games in this series.
After game four, the team decided Leonard wasn't seriously injured, but the situation changed completely within a day.
Leonard, who suffered a right knee sprain in G4 in the Western Conference semifinals against the Jazz, will miss G5 and there is no timeline for his return.
