The Clippers announced on Wednesday that Leonard will remain sidelined against the Magic, via Joey Linn of SI. Jones and Jordan Miller will also miss the game. The fact that Leonard was ruled out more than 24 hours before tip-off is certainly not a good sign. It suggests that the 34-year-old small forward is not nearing a return.

Tyrese Maxey scored 39 points, Paul George had nine points and seven rebounds in his season debut and the Sixers rallied for a victory over the short-handed Clippers.
