LOS ANGELES (AP) — Kawhi Leonard will miss the Los Angeles Clippers’ playoff opener against the Dallas Mavericks. Leonard had been listed as questionable heading into Game 1 on Sunday because of inflammation in his surgically repaired right knee. Coach Tyronn Lue confirmed that Leonard wasn’t available nearly two hours before tipoff, although he still wouldn’t say who was replacing the two-time NBA Finals MVP in the lineup.
