Kawhi Leonard left the Clippers game at Crypto Arena after missing the entire second quarter due to back spasms. Reports indicate that Leonard, who was experiencing thoracic spasms, felt discomfort while sitting, which led to his departure from the arena in street clothes. The incident occurred during the Clippers' match against the Timberwolves. Leonard initially left the bench to go to the locker room and was subsequently ruled out for the rest of the game. Sources noted that Leonard had experienced discomfort earlier in the day and communicated his discomfort to Clippers coach Tyronn Lue before exiting during a first-quarter timeout.
