For the past few seasons, the LA Clippers and Boston Celtics have produced some of the most fun matchups in the NBA. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case so much

The Los Angeles Clippers rule Kawhi Leonard out, with James Harden's injury status uncertain ahead of their matchup vs. the Boston Celtics.

Kawhi Leonard had one of his best games since returning from a knee injury, scoring 19 points in limited minutes during the Clippers' win over the Lakers.

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.

Los Angeles Clippers star Kawhi Leonard made his return to action last week, but has continued to err on the side of caution.

Kawhi Leonard is in no rush to break free of the minutes restriction he’s been playing under since making his season debut recently.

Now 4-1 since welcoming Kawhi Leonard back, the Clippers are 24-17 overall. This ranks fifth in the West, and 1.5 games above the sixth seed Lakers. Leonard finished with 19 points in 24 minutes on Sunday,

Norman Powell scores 27 points, but the Clippers struggle with their shooting and can't overcome the absences of Kawhi Leonard and Ivica Zubac in loss.

The Los Angeles Clippers, fresh off their dominant win against the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday, have a quick turnaround with a back-to-back against the visiting Chicago Bulls. But the team might be a little bit short-handed.
