Paul George Comments On Kawhi Leonard's Injury Status

Kawhi Leonard remains to be out for the Los Angeles Clippers. Paul George responds to Leonard's game status for a very important game 5 as the Clippers season are on the line.

George said he doesn't want Leonard, who has missed the last six games due to an ACL sprain, to play unless he's fully healthy. Leonard is "highly unlikely" to play in Game 5 as per Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports, citing the elevation involved with flying to Phoenix wouldn't be good for Leonard's knee.

"If he's not 100, we don't want him out there. I mean, that's just as a brother, as a teammate. His health long term is more important than what's going on now. I can't speak on the extent of his injury or, you know, what he [can] and cannot give us. Like I've been saying, his health is just more important than anything else."
