This will be the third game Leonard has missed out of the five played so far in the series, having also sat out Game 1 and Game 4.

Throughout the season, Leonard averaged 23.7 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 3.6 assists, playing in 68 games – his most since the 2016-17 season with the San Antonio Spurs.

Leonard missed the final eight games of the regular season due to right knee pain before making his return in the second and third games of the playoff series.
