The Los Angeles Clippers, who did not specify the injury as he sat out the team's first-ever Western Conference finals appearance, said there was no timetable for his return.
Leonard averaged 30.4 points, 7.7 rebounds and 4.4 assists in 11 playoff games.
He first got hurt in Game 4 of the team's second-round series against the Utah Jazz.
He was held out of the last eight post-season games, including the Clippers' 4-2 loss to the Phoenix Suns in the West finals.
The Clippers only said Leonard had a knee sprain. They never offered further details and he was ruled out on a game-by-game basis the rest of the playoffs.
Leonard has a player option for the 2021-22 season. He averaged 24.8 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5.2 assists in 52 regular-season games.
