Phoenix is already in the Western Conference Finals, having swept the Denver Nuggets in four straight games earlier this week.

Charania's tweet:


As for Kawhi, ESPN's Brian Windhorst and Ramona Shelburne are reporting that the two-time NBA Champion will miss Wednesday night's Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Utah Jazz due to an injury suffered in Monday's Game 4 victory for the Clippers.  It is unclear as to whether Leonard will play in the remainder of the series.  The Clippers-Jazz series is tied at 2 entering tonight's Game 5 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
