LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla.– Los Angeles Clippers star Kawhi Leonard did not travel with the group on Wednesday to Walt Disney World for the resumption of the NBA season, league sources informed Yahoo Sports.
Leonard was offered consent by the organization to tend to a family matter and the two-time Defensive Player of the Year and two-time NBA Finals MVP is expected to join the team on school in a few days, sources stated.
The Clippers are arranged to get here in Orlando on Wednesday night.
The 6-foot-7 forward is having perhaps his finest routine season in his first year with the Clippers, balancing career highs in points (26.9) and assists (5) and matching his career-best mark in rebounds (7.3) in 51 video games.
The Clippers are 44-20, 5 1/2 games back of the top-seeded Los Angeles Lakers, and are among the favorites to win the NBA title (+325 at BetMGM).
