Kawhi Leonard says knee 'didn't respond' as hoped; status in air

DALLAS -- LA Clippers star Kawhi Leonard said the inflammation in his surgically repaired right knee did not respond the way he had hoped after Game 2, and after gutting out 25 minutes in Friday's 101-90 loss to the Dallas Mavericks, Leonard's status for Sunday's Game 4 is in question.

Leonard had nine points and nine rebounds but did not look like his normal self in Game 3 at American Airlines Center. With their franchise player limited, the Clippers unraveled and now trail 2-1 in the best-of-7 series.

Leonard was asked if he will be able to play on Sunday afternoon with less than 48 hours between Games 3 and 4.
