Kawhi Leonard (knee) misses third straight game for Clippers

LA Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard will miss Monday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the team announced.

Leonard suffered a left knee contusion in the second half of the Clippers' loss to the Houston Rockets on Wednesday and did not play against New Orleans on Thursday or Atlanta on Saturday.

Leonard has missed five of the Clippers' 14 games this season and has yet to play alongside teammate Paul George, who made his Clippers debut on Thursday after rehabbing from two shoulder operations.

George has helped mitigate Leonard's absence, having scored 70 points in just 44 minutes in the past two games.
