Clippers star Kawhi Leonard remains out with 'significant' right foot sprain

The Los Angeles Clippers will continue without Kawhi Leonard, who missed his fifth consecutive game on Wednesday, Nov. 12, against the Denver Nuggets due to a right ankle and foot issue.

The team reported that Leonard will need additional time to recover before he can return to the court. He is healing from a sprained right ankle and a right foot sprain. According to Lawrence Frank, the Clippers' president of basketball operations, Leonard sustained the injuries during a game against the Miami Heat on Nov. 3, when he scored 27 points in the loss. Before his injury, Leonard was averaging 24.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.5 assists for the Clippers.

"With Kawhi, it wasn't just an ankle sprain," Frank said. "He also had a significant sprain in his foot, as well. When he sprained his ankle, it kind of triggered a mechanism in his foot."

While the exact timeline for Leonard's return is unclear, he will travel with the Clippers on their upcoming six-game road trip, which begins with a match against the Dallas Mavericks on Friday, Nov. 14.
