A head spinning NBA news day

OUT: Kawhi, CP3, Scott Brooks, Donnie Nelson, and Stan Van Gundy

Just this morning, we published a story about the Clippers’ series-changing defensive adjustment that had befuddled the Jazz. Then, in keeping with a truly insane NBA day, that all changed with a report that Kawhi Leonard would be out with knee trouble, possibly for a while. Over a few hours we learned that Chris Paul, Scott Brooks, Donnie Nelson, and Stan Van Gundy were also all out in different ways and for different reasons.
