Leonard was found having discussions with head coach Ty Lue before leaving. His exit was an unforeseen development, as the Clippers are going head-to-head against the Lakers down the stretch.
He finished the night with 31 points, shooting 11-of-19 from the field with five assists and four boards in 31 minutes of play.
Leonard joins Collins in the team's locker room. The LA forward took an earlier exit after a nasty head injury in the final seconds of the first half.
