LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles Clippers star Kawhi Leonard has a meniscus tear in his right knee, although his surgically repaired right ACL is intact. Lawrence Frank, president of basketball operations, says Leonard will be ready for next year, regardless of what treatment is needed. The team had said Leonard sustained a right knee sprain after playing in the first two games of the Clippers’ first-round loss to Phoenix. Paul George missed the series with a sprained right knee, but Frank says he would have played if the Clippers had advanced to the conference semifinals.
