Mon Apr 24 202315:09Kawhi Leonard Misses Monday's Practice
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) was unable to participate in practice on Monday. That is not a good sign for Leonard's status for the upcoming Game 5 matchup versus the Phoenix Suns. The Clippers are already without Paul George and continue to struggle with both their superstars injured. Russell Westbrook has stepped up, but the Clippers need either Leonard or George to help on the court. It sounds like Leonard will be a game-time decision for Game 5.

Fri Apr 21 202320:34Kawhi Leonard Out Again For Game 4
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) won't play on Saturday versus the Suns. He didn't suit up in Game 3 because of a sprained right knee, which has given him issues since the beginning of the series. As a result, Norman Powell, who had a team-high 42 points on Thursday, will be a popular DFS option. Russell Westbrook will also see plenty of interest from DFS participants.

Thu Apr 20 202318:40Kawhi Leonard Day-To-Day, Out For Game 3
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) won't suit up for Thursday's postseason meeting with the Suns. He's dealing with a right knee sprain, the same one he had surgically repaired in 2021. The multi-time All-Star is considered day-to-day. But truth be told, he may not be back this season if the Suns go up three games to none. In the meantime, Norman Powell will likely replace Leonard in the lineup. Powell has averaged 12.8 points and 3.3 rebounds in eight starts this season, so he'll draw attention from DFS managers. At the same time, Russell Westbrook, Eric Gordon, and Terance Mann could all see an increase in offensive production.

Thu Apr 20 202318:28Kawhi Leonard Ruled Out For Game 3
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's Game 4 against the Phoenix Suns. Leonard suffered a right knee sprain during Game 1 of the series. He played through the issue in Game 2, but will sit out Thursday's contest due to the injury. At the moment, fantasy managers should consider Leonard day-to-day heading into Game 4 on Saturday. This is a tough blow to the Clippers roster who are already without Paul George. That means, Russell Westbrook is going to see his usage go through the roof with Leonard out. Norman Powell and Terance Mann should also see increased roles during Thursday's contest.

Wed Apr 19 202310:31Kawhi Leonard Has Another Big Performance Despite Loss
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard continues to rack up big-time performances as he led the team in scoring yet again. During the 14-point loss, Leonard registered 31 points, eight rebounds, seven assists, and three steals on 11-for-20 shooting. He also added 3-for-5 from beyond the arc and 6-for-7 from the line. While the 31-year-old has consistently looked dominant, the rest of the Clippers have yet to show much consistency at all. The good thing is that they'll be shifting back to their home floor for the next two games after they stole a road game to make the series 1-1.

Sun Apr 16 202323:08Kawhi Leonard Leads All Scorers In Game 1 Win
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard took over the offense as co-star Paul George (knee) was ruled out for the entirety of the first round. In their five-point win on Sunday, the two-time champ finished the game with 38 points, five rebounds, five assists, one steal, and one block on 13-for-24 shooting from the floor and 3-for-5 from beyond the arc. He also only missed one of his 10 attempts from the line. Leonard is probably the closest thing to surefire fantasy points in DFS lineups outside of Joel Embiid and Nikola Jokic as the Clippers will heavily rely on his offensive abilities in this series.

In 29 minutes of action, Leonard also registered eight rebounds, four assists and one block. The Clippers play again Sunday and take the court less than 24 hours after completing Saturday's contest, but Leonard is fully expected to play, with the team looking to lock up the fifth seed in the Western Conference.

Thu Mar 30 202319:00Kawhi Leonard Could Miss Friday's Game
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (personal) is considered questionable for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He sat out Wednesday's game due to personal reasons, so this could be a multi-game absence for Leonard. Terance Mann would likely be asked to move into the starting five. He'd have increased value and become a much stronger streaming option if Leonard sits out on Friday. Fantasy managers will have to check back for another update.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (face) is expected to play against the Bulls. The 31-year-old took an accidental hit to the face in Saturday's meeting with the New Orleans Pelicans, ending his night after 27 minutes. Nonetheless, if Leonard can't give it a go, Russell Westbrook will see a surge in fantasy popularity. At the same time, Eric Gordon, Bones Hyland, Marcus Morris Sr., and Terance Mann will have added value in deeper fantasy setups.

Sun Mar 26 202311:07Kawhi Leonard Exits With A Facial Injury
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard was forced to make an early exit Saturday against the Pelicans after taking an elbow to the face. He struggled all game and couldn't carry on in the third quarter following an incident involving Brandon Ingram. Leonard finished with 4-for-16 shooting and had 12 points with six rebounds, four assists and two steals. The Clippers also lost Paul George (knee) this week and have already been without Norman Powell (shoulder) for quite some time, so losing another key piece for an extended stretch would be a huge blow. We should get an update on Kawhi prior to Monday's game versus Chicago.

Both Leonard and Russell Westbrook stepped up big for the Clippers in this game. The expectation is that Leonard is going to continue being the focal point until George gets back on the court.

Sun Mar 12 202308:53Kawhi Leonard Drops 38 Points On The Knicks

Kawhi has scored more points in only one game this season and this was his 13th outing overall with 30-plus points. The injury-prone star has played in just 41 games, so it's a pretty impressive feat. The Clippers are in the midst of a fierce playoff race and we can expect Leonard to keep producing at a high level until the team has locked up a desired spot.

Fri Mar 3 202319:28Kawhi Leonard Getting The Night Off On Friday
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) won't play on Friday evening versus the Sacramento Kings. It's the second of back-to-back outings for LA, so the veteran will get to rest after playing 31 minutes in Thursday's meeting with Golden State. Norman Powell (shoulder) and Marcus Morris Sr. (elbow) are also out, while Ivica Zubac (calf) is questionable, meaning Paul George is the favorite to lead the way on the scoring. That said, Russell Westbrook, who scored only eight points against the Warriors, is a bounce-back candidate, with Mason Plumlee and Nicolas Batum also in line for an expanded role.

In 46 minutes on the court, the Claw also grabbed four rebounds, four assists, three steals and two blocks.

There are not many players better in the NBA than Kawhi Leonard when he's healthy.

The Los Angeles Clippers are in the heat of the congested Western Conference playoff race and were one of the more active franchises during Thursday's trade deadline. The Clippers had some glaring needs, specifically at the point guard position, and needed to surround their star forwards, Paul George and Kawhi Leonard, with more talent to compete in the loaded Western Conference.The Clippers were able to execute three separate trades on Thursday. First off, the Clippers were able to secure Bones Hyland from the Denver Nuggets for a couple of second-round picks.
