With Kawhi Leonard at home, Clippers lose to Magic

Sitting on the bench in his tracksuit, Kawhi Leonard could only cheer for his Clippers teammates. He did not play to deal with a right knee injury.

The Clippers could have used his help on court against the Orlando Magic Saturday afternoon at the Crypto.com Arena.

Without Leonard, the Clippers lost 113-108 to the Magic, who had five players in double digits.

Paul George led the Clippers with 30 points.

With Markelle Fultz scoring 28 points and Wendell Carter Jr. contributing 27 points and 12 rebounds, the Magic swept the Clippers’ two-game streak.

The Clippers are playing a series of games in Portland on Sunday night and Leonard was scheduled to play the Trail Blazers.

“He’s out tonight,” Clippers coach Tyronn Lue said before the game. “That’s all I know.”
