Paul George and Kawhi Leonard sat at the LA Clippers game in Minnesota on Friday night to monitor their health following Thursday’s loss in Denver. The two were ruled out ahead of the game with the Timberwolves after losing a 122-91 loss in Denver, Los Angeles’ fourth straight loss. Nicolás Batum was also out with a sprained left ankle.
