INGLEWOOD, Calif. — The Clippers seem to be contagious.
On a day Kawhi Leonard already wasn’t playing before Bradley Beal was ruled out for the season, two Nuggets starters exited with their own injuries during a 130-116 win.
Cam Johnson walked to the locker room immediately after checking out in the first quarter Wednesday. He was designated as questionable with a right arm strain at first. Then, in the second frame, Christian Braun briefly tried to play through a left ankle injury, only to ask for a sub when it became clear to him that he couldn’t.
