Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard won't travel with the team for Game 5 against the Phoenix Suns on Monday, head coach Tyronn Lue said, according to USA Today's Mark Medina.
Leonard hasn't played since suffering a right knee sprain in Game 4 of the previous round.
The two-time Finals MVP's status for the remainder of the Western Conference finals remains up in the air.
Leonard was having another productive postseason before his injury, averaging 30.4 points, 7.7 boards, 4.4 assists, and 2.1 steals over 11 appearances.
Los Angeles trails the best-of-seven 3-1 following Saturday's 84-80 loss at home.
