At the buzzer, Paul George had a chance to win, but he fell short. The Clippers suffered a heartbreaking defeat after limiting the Kings to only one field goal in the last three minutes.

Despite the Clippers’ recent troubles, superstar forward Kawhi Leonard will continue to sit out one leg of back-to-back games as the season progresses.
According to ESPN’s Ohm Youngmisuk, Leonard stated during the Clippers’ 115-91 defeat to the Golden State Warriors on Thursday that the Clippers would stay with the strategy they have in place all season in order to keep him healthy for the playoffs.
Leonard has only played in 39 of the Clippers’ 66 games this season, losing time due to nagging ailments and injury management. Leonard was sidelined for the entire 2021-22 season after injuring his ACL during the playoffs in 2021.
While Leonard has missed more games than the Clippers would like, he has been extremely effective while healthy and in the lineup this season.
Kawhi averages 23.0 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.9 three-pointers made, and 1.4 steals playing 33.1 minutes per game. Nevertheless, Leonard’s frequent absences have made it tough for the Clippers to establish their groove, and they are now 33-33 on the season and on a 5-game losing streak.
