Kawhi Leonard left the court with an ankle injury during the Los Angeles Clippers’ 118–109 defeat to the Sacramento Kings.

The incident has raised concerns over the star forward’s fitness amid a strong individual run.

Injury Occurs Late in Fourth Quarter

The injury happened with just over nine minutes remaining in the final quarter.

Leonard landed awkwardly while defending DeMar DeRozan, briefly lost balance, and fell before limping off the court.

No Immediate Update From Clippers

The Clippers have yet to provide clarity on the severity of the ankle sprain.

Leonard did not return to the game after heading to the locker room, leaving uncertainty about his availability for upcoming fixtures.

Strong Performance Before Exit

Before the setback, Leonard delivered an impressive performance, scoring 31 points.

The outing extended his streak to 45 consecutive games with at least 20 points.

Record-Breaking Run Continues

That streak surpasses the previous franchise record held by Bob McAdoo.

McAdoo recorded 44 straight 20-point games during the 1974–75 season.

Clippers’ Winning Streak Ends

The loss also snapped the Clippers’ four-game winning streak.

The team now faces added pressure as they await updates on their star player’s condition.

Season Form Remains Impressive

Despite the injury scare, Leonard has been in exceptional form this season.

He is averaging a career-high 28.3 points across 52 games, underlining his importance to the team.
