With their season on the line, the Los Angeles Clippers will be without superstar Kawhi Leonard for Game 5 against the Phoenix Suns after the team listed him as out with a sprained right knee on Monday.
The Suns currently hold a 3-1 series lead ahead of Tuesday's game.
The former Toronto Raptors star reportedly aggravated the injury in Game 1, played through it in Game 2, then sat out both Games 3 and 4.
With Leonard in the lineup, the Clippers won Game 1 on the road and had the series tied 1-1 heading to Los Angeles.
The two-time NBA Finals MVP averaged 34.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and six assists through the first two games of the best-of-seven series.
Fellow Clippers superstar Paul George also remains out with a right knee sprain.
Leonard missed all of last season while recovering from surgery for a torn right ACL.
