Kawhi remains out for Clippers' potential series-clincher

If the Los Angeles Clippers are to clinch their first-ever trip to the conference finals on Friday, they'll have to do so without Kawhi Leonard.

Head coach Tyronn Lue said Leonard will remain out for Game 6 versus the Utah Jazz, according to USA Today's Mark Medina.

Leonard suffered what the team reportedly believes is an ACL injury in Game 4. There's no definitive timeline for his return to the lineup.

With the two-time Finals MVP sidelined for Game 5, Paul George led the Clippers to the win and 3-2 series lead with a 37-point, 16-rebound performance. Game 6 tips Friday at 10 p.m. ET.
