Just talked last night about how much I’m savoring and appreciating every moment we get healthy Kawhi Leonard in this playoffs because we just never know how long it’ll last. News today really just sucks.

Paul George — aka Podcast P — says he’s been enjoying his front-row seat for the Kawhi Leonard-Kevin Durant duel (below).
Goes on to say on the pod preview he’s “working his ass off” to get out there … and to discuss Kawhi’s not-a-travel step-thru. “I’m adding it to my game.” pic.twitter.com/bvYw9e1gAm – 5:56 PM

It’s hard to overstate the void created by Kawhi’s injury: Points he scored or assisted on accounted on 45% of the Clippers’ offense in Games 1 and 2; he’s also guarded KD a team-high 53 possessions.

Kawhi Leonard ruled out for Game 3 tonight due to a right knee sprain.
More here on how the LA Clippers have (unfortunately) been here before and who could have to step up against the Phoenix Suns.

Worth noting with the Kawhi news that it’s a quick turnaround to Game 4. 12:30p start on Saturday. – 5:09 PM

Couple Kawhi Leonard thoughts:
1) This really sucks. Even without PG, we were finally getting healthy Kawhi vs. healthy KD again
2) In the only game the Clippers have played without both Kawhi/PG since Russell Westbrook joined, Russ had a season-high 36 points and LA hit 22 3s – 4:55 PM

Wrote this last week about why a playoff matchup between KD and Kawhi, playing at the levels they did this season, shouldn’t be taken for granted. We got two games of it — the question is, will there be more? latimes.com/sports/clipper… – 4:36 PM

We got 12 minutes of KD vs Kawhi in 2019. We might only get two games of KD vs Kawhi in 2023. Be better, basketball gods. – 4:30 PM
