PLAYA VISTA, Calif. -- LA Clippers coach Tyronn Lue said Wednesday he is preparing for the Dallas Mavericks as if he will have star Kawhi Leonard to start the first-round playoff series.
Lue said Leonard did not participate in any five-on-five during Tuesday's practice. But asked whether there is any part of his game plan preparation that does not have Leonard on the court to start the postseason, Lue gave the most positive sign of Leonard's status so far.
"I'm preparing for him, to have him on the court," Lue said.
