The Los Angeles Clippers say forward Kawhi Leonard (groin) is out for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Leonard is dealing with a strained left groin and will miss his first game since late December. Groin strains can be tricky and tend to result in multi-week absences, so while the All-Star break comes at the right time for Leonard and the Clips, there's no guarantee the two-way superstar will be ready to go when play resumes on Feb. 22 in a showdown with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Paul George and James Harden will steer the offense on Wednesday, and Amir Coffey figures to make a spot start in L.A.'s first unit. In seven starting appearances this year, Coffey has averaged only 10.7 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.7 three-pointers, and 1.3 assists and isn't a great streaming option for fantasy purposes.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (hip) will play on Monday against the Miami Heat. The 32-year-old has had another productive season, averaging 24.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 1.5 steals. Unfortunately, he missed the Clippers' previous four games because of a hip contusion. However, he's practiced fully over the last few days, so he's good to go. With Leonard back in the mix, Amir Coffey will head back to the bench, and he'll take any streaming potential with him.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (hip) is questionable ahead of Monday's meeting with the Miami Heat. Leonard has missed the last four games because of a left hip contusion. He practiced fully on Sunday. However, head coach Ty Lue couldn't say when Leonard would be back on the floor. Nonetheless, if the 32-year-old can't suit up for a fifth consecutive contest, Amir Coffey would presumably remain in the starting lineup. Coffey finished with 13 points and a steal in 31 minutes the other night against the Grizzlies. Unfortunately, he's not a trustworthy streaming option for those looking to fill the void in their lineups.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (hip) remains out on Friday night versus Memphis. He's missed the last three games because of a hip issue, an injury he picked up a few weeks ago versus the Jazz. Leonard initially played through the ailment. However, the veteran will need more time to work his way back. Leonard has played well this season, averaging 24.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 1.5 steals, so guys like James Harden, Paul George, Ivica Zubac, and Russell Westbrook will be needed to fill some of the void left by his absence. In addition, Terance Mann, Amir Coffey, and Norman Powell could see an uptick in fantasy production, although all three players aren't reliable options for any lineup.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (hip) was seen practicing in a limited capacity on Thursday and is now officially on the injury report as questionable for their game against the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday. Leonard was enjoying one of his healthiest seasons in a long time up until this hip issue. He's missed the last three consecutive games and is in danger of missing a fourth. Even though he was able to practice a little bit on Thursday, it doesn't sound realistic to expect him back on Friday. Fantasy managers will want to monitor his status as the team goes through shootaround and warmups. Terance Mann, Amir Coffey, and Norman Powell will all see more usage and minutes if Leonard has to miss another game.

Los Angeles Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue says forward Kawhi Leonard (hip) is practicing "a little bit" on Thursday. Leonard has missed the team's past three games due to a left hip contusion after a fall in the fourth quarter of Dec. 20's game. A limited practice session would appear to give Leonard a fair chance of making his return, however, on Friday versus the visiting Memphis Grizzlies. The oft-injured 32-year-old two-time NBA Finals MVP has paid off his fantasy draft cost in a big way during a mostly healthy 2023-24, bringing in 24.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.3 three-pointers, and 1.5 steals per game. The Clippers have lost two out of three games without Leonard. Lue has shuffled Leonard's minutes among several players, essentially leaving no one with a substantial boost in fantasy worth. Russell Westbrook is probably the best bet, tallying a double-double in two of his last three nights.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (hip) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. The superstar forward will miss his third game in a row due to a left hip contusion. The Clippers are calling it a day-to-day issue, so hopefully Leonard will be back in the lineup for their next game. In the meantime, Amir Coffey should remain in the starting five, while Norman Powell gets more minutes off the bench. Between the two, Coffey is the much better streaming choice due to his scoring ability.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (hip) won't play in Saturday's meeting with the Boston Celtics. The 32-year-old has remained relatively healthy all season, which is good news for fantasy managers. Unfortunately, he's battling a hip contusion, so he'll miss a second straight contest. Nonetheless, Amir Coffey will likely continue to fill the void. Coffey has averaged 13.0 points and 4.3 rebounds in three starts this season, giving him some upside for those needing a streaming option. He'll also be a popular DFS target. However, Leonard's absence will likely mean more offensive opportunities for Paul George, James Harden, and Russell Westbrook, who had 15 points and 13 rebounds versus OKC on Thursday night.

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Kawhi Leonard (hip) is considered questionable for Saturday's game against Boston. The veteran star just skipped his first game of the season with a hip issue, and it looks like he could be out for another one against the Celtics. Amir Coffey got the start when Leonard was out on Thursday versus the Thunder, scoring nine points and grabbing four rebounds in 33 minutes. He could be set for a second consecutive start if Leonard continues to sit, although Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue might switch things up on Saturday after seeing his side beaten heavily by Oklahoma City.

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Kawhi Leonard led all scorers with 38 points in Wednesday's 130-125 overtime defeat against the Lakers. After finishing Tuesday's matchup against Orlando with only eight points, Leonard kicked off the action with an 18-point first quarter, which marks the most points he's ever had inside the opening frame. He did the damage on Wednesday with 15-for-28 shooting, which included a 5-for-11 record from deep. Across 41 minutes of action, Leonard also tallied eight boards, five assists, and two steals. This was a superb performance from Leonard, and the fact that he had no problems logging over 40 minutes during the second night of a back-to-back might just be the most impressive thing about it. Hopefully, the injury-prone star stays clear of health issues this season, and we get to see him in most of the Clippers' back-to-back spots. The next one comes in three weeks' time.

Los Angeles Clippers forwards Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are reportedly both healthy heading into training camp, according to team president Lawrence Frank. That is great news after both players saw their 2022 campaign come to a premature end due to knee injuries. The hope is that the Clippers can keep both players relatively healthy throughout next season. Both players should be able to offer top-25 fantasy value, assuming they can stay on the court.

Los Angeles Clippers forwards Kawhi Leonard and Paul George have notably missed a ton of games over the course of the last few seasons. The high hopes for the team have depended on their health so that explains why those hopes have been squashed each season. On Marc Stein and Chris Haynes' podcast, the Clippers head coach, Ty Lue said, "They're both on track to be 100% by the time training camp starts, and that's what we need." This is joyous news for Clippers fans and dynasty managers with stock in both players. The next thing to monitor for these two would be injury management throughout the year.

According to Clippers head coach Ty Lue, forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) is expected to be 100% by training camp. While Lue shared the same update earlier in the month, many still have their doubts, considering Leonard's constant knee injuries over the years. But there's no denying that the 32-year-old is an MVP-caliber performer when healthy, and he finished the 2022-23 campaign by averaging 23.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 1.4 steals while shooting an impressive 41.6% from behind the arc. Granted, fantasy managers will remain apprehensive about selecting him in drafts heading into the season. However, even though Leonard will likely get routine time off throughout the year, he can be at least a top-10 fantasy asset if he plays the bulk of the Clippers' scheduled contests.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard is eligible for a contract extension and has been in talks with the team for a few weeks. Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN was on The Lowe Post podcast and said that the two sides are in "no rush" to agree on an extension and that things are quiet right now. Signs still point to an extension happening, and Paul George is also eligible for one in September. Both of them signing around the same time for a similar amount of time isn't out of the realm of possibility as they did that the first time around in Los Angeles.

The Los Angeles Clippers and forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) are reportedly in talks regarding a potential contract extension. Law Murray of The Athletic reports that "the dialogue is healthy, as Leonard is extension eligible now". Murray does allude to the slowness of the current trade market and considers these discussions to also be "relatively slow". The 31-year-old owns two years remaining on his current deal with a 2024-2025 player option. Leonard, while highly injury-prone, remains one of the league's best two-way superstars any time he takes the court. The five-time All-Star amassed 23.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 2.0 threes, and 1.4 steals on 51.2% field-goal shooting in 33.6 minutes per game across 52 contests last season.

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) had a "clean-up procedure" done on his right knee on June 6. The 31-year-old is expected to be recovering for eight weeks, but should be ready for training camp. It's another nick on the lengthy injury history for Leonard, who suffered a torn meniscus during Los Angeles' first-round playoff series with the Phoenix Suns. Excluding an entirely missed 2020-2021 with an ACL injury, the oft-injured swingman has averaged only 46 games per season across five other campaigns since 2017-2018. Leonard was still a second-round fantasy value last year despite a slow start. The two-way superstar's virtually flawless fantasy skillset might make him difficult to displace from the early rounds of drafts despite his injury-prone nature.

According to Clippers president of basketball operations Lawrence Frank, forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) will be ready to start the 2023-24 campaign. The 31-year-old was diagnosed with a torn meniscus during the postseason series against the Phoenix Suns, keeping him off the floor for the final three games. Fortunately, his "ACL is intact," so some rest and rehab could be enough to get him back to 100%. Leonard averaged 23.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.4 steals, and shot 41.6% from deep last season. However, he was limited to only 52 games. Without question, Leonard has top-10 upside for fantasy managers in all formats. But his durability has been a constant issue, so his fantasy stock should continue to trend south heading into next season.

Los Angeles Clippers forwards Kawhi Leonard (knee) and Paul George (shoulder) both missed a majority of the recent playoff series against the Phoenix Suns. George missed the entire series, while Leonard only played in the first two games of the series. Since joining the team in 2019, Leonard has only played in 161 games, while George has played in 189 games for Los Angeles. This team is built to win a championship, but the two best players on the roster cannot stay healthy. Despite that, the organization remains committed to Leonard and George going forward. It was recently announced that Leonard has torn meniscus in his right knee. It remains to be seen what kind of shape he'll be in heading into training camp.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) was forced to sit out the series against the Phoenix Suns since Game 2 when the training staff found that he had a torn meniscus in his right knee. Unfortunately, that was the same knee where he tore his ACL and had to miss all of last season. The meniscus plays a big part as the shock absorber of the knee, so tearing that would have left him more susceptible to another ACL injury if he played on it. Leonard and the training staff will now look into what needs to be done to fix it for next year.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) will miss the potential series-clinching game on Tuesday due to the sprained right knee that has kept him out since Game 2. The 31-year-old, unfortunately, won't be able to power through any pain to try to force a Game 6 with Russell Westbrook and company. While he and Paul George (knee) both remain out, Norman Powell, Eric Gordon, and Terance Mann should all see more minutes and more production.
