“That’s the most important thing. Family, friends and loved ones. You definitely have to care of home. So, he totally has my support 100% checking on his family and kids and making sure they’re well,” Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue told reporters Wednesday.

While Lue confirmed that Leonard and his family are ok, the status of their home remains unknown.
