Los Angeles Clippers star Kawhi Leonard has been ruled out of Game 6 of the team's series against the Utah Jazz, head coach Tyronn Lue confirmed Thursday.

Leonard, who the Clippers reportedly fear tore his ACL, missed the Clippers' Game 5 win on Wednesday. The 29-year-old is averaging 30.4 points, 7.7 rebounds and 4.4 assists in 11 playoff games this season.

On the Jazz side of the ball, guards Donovan Mitchell and Mike Conley are listed as questionable to play in Game 6. Mitchell continues to recover from a right ankle injury that kept him out of the lineup late in the regular season while Conley has yet to play in the series due to a hamstring strain.

Los Angeles leads the second-round series 3-2 and can close out the series on Friday.
