The LA Clippers have an absolutely brutal basketball schedule this week. After adjusting their games due to the LA wildfires, the team now plays five games in seven nights.

The Clippers started the week playing the Los Angeles Lakers and Chicago Bulls in a back-to-back and then will face off against the Boston Celtics and Washington Wizards in a back-to-back after having one day of rest in between. As a result, numerous players will be shifted around lineups due to injury management.

One of those players is Kawhi Leonard.

The LA Clippers revealed that Leonard will not be playing against the Celtics on Wednesday night due to right knee injury management. This comes off right after Leonard just rested against the Chicago Bulls on Monday night.
