Clippers star Kawhi Leonard will miss a second nationally televised game for “load management” of a knee, the team announced Tuesday evening. Leonard will not play Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks at Staples Center in what would have been a rematch of last season’s Eastern Conference finals between Leonard, who played Toronto last season, and league MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo. A league spokesman said the team received approval for Leonard’s absence ahead of time after providing information to the league. Now, if you’re a Kawhi fan and you’re from Utah, then that’s just a tough one. Leonard has averaged 29.3 points, 7.3 rebounds and 5.7 assists in six games this season.
