Both Western Conference finals teams will remain down a superstar for Tuesday's Game 2 matchup.
The Phoenix Suns announced on Monday that Chris Paul will remain in COVID-19 health and safety protocols for Tuesday's game. Meanwhile Los Angeles Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue confirmed with reporters that Kawhi Leonard will remain sidelined with a knee injury.
Both players missed Game 1 that Phoenix won behind a 40-point triple-double from Devin Booker. Paul was placed in the NBA's protocols after the Suns completed their sweep of the Denver Nuggets on June 13.
