#nba-schedule

I try to have a feel for it, but it's hard to judge because the NBA has so many variables - schedule, back-to-backs, travel, time changes. The more experience I get, maybe I'll get better at it. What matters is consistency and not being too emotional about it. No matter the schedule, no matter who's out, there are no excuses. Good teams find a way. That's what I'm asking from our guys: consistency in how we play and our purpose.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. -- Kawhi Leonard will miss "the next few games" for the LA Clippers due to a sprained ankle, coach Tyronn Lue says. Leonard missed his third straight game Saturday night when the Clippers hosted the Phoenix Suns. Lue wasn't precise about the nature of the 34-year-old Leonard's injury or the length of his absence, but the coach said medical tests on Leonard's ankle indicated the injury likely wouldn't be a long-term problem.
