Kawhi Leonard's All-Star Game status in air, Clippers' Ty Lue says

SAN FRANCISCO --LA Clippers forwardKawhi Leonard's left adductor strain isn't "too serious," according to Clippers coach Tyronn Lue, but there is still uncertainty surrounding his status for this weekend's All-Star game.

Leonard, a six-time All-Star, played through the injury on Monday against theMinnesota Timberwolves, scoring 18 points in 30 minutes. He sat out Wednesday night's 130-125 win over theGolden State Warriors.

"I don't think it's that serious," Lue said before Wednesday's game. "He played through it last game, was experiencing some soreness in the hip, so when the game got out of reach we didn't bring him back in the fourth quarter to be smart about it."

Even if he is unable to play in the All-Star game, Leonard is still expected to go to Indianapolis for the weekend, a league source told ESPN.

The Clippers also were without PJ Tucker and Bones Hylandon Wednesday night. Both were not with the team.

Tucker, who came to the Clippers in the James Harden trade, and Hyland have been out of Lue's rotation and frustrated with their lack of playing time. Tucker told ESPN before the trade deadline that he was "actively trying to get traded."

A league source said the Clippers hope both players use the All-Star break to reset and come back ready to make a positive impact down the stretch. Both are expected to be back with the Clippers when they play at Oklahoma City next Thursday.

"You want to have competitors on your team," Lue told reporters at the Clippers morning shootaround on Wednesday. "They want to play. So when you try to get traded, it doesn't work out ... it doesn't mean they're not happy here, which they are. They want to play. They want to compete."
