Wait, what happened?

[Noyze]

Glad the Lakers won but can someone explain this to me? The Clippers were down only 1 possession with 2 and a half minutes left and Tyronn Lue uses his LAST timeout to take Kawhi out. I thought maybe he was hurt or something but then he comes back in with 20 secs left?! Sabotage or, wtf was that?

It was a minutes restriction thing from what I hear, but a weird time to take him out.

Andrew Greif: Ty Lue says Kawhi Leonard spent the clutch minutes on the bench because Leonard was close to his minutes limit and Lue felt that with a back to back tomorrow, it was his call (https://*********.com/social/).

Andrew Greif: Kawhi Leonard said he would have loved to have been on the floor late in the game but understood the team was trying to hit a minutes limit for him (https://*********.com/social/).
