Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard scored 22 points in Saturday's playoff loss to the Nuggets. He added five rebounds, two assists, and two blocks. The two-time NBA Champion had a fantastic series. Unfortunately, his efforts weren't enough, with the Clippers falling short of advancing to the Western Conference semi-finals to meet OKC. Statistically speaking, Leonard played as well as expected during the regular season, averaging 21.5 points, 5.9 boards, and 1.6 steals while shooting 41.1% from behind the arc. However, he was limited to only 37 games because of a knee injury. Leonard is one of the best players in the NBA. But the question moving ahead is if he can stay healthy in 2025-26. If he does, he should re-enter the All-Star conversation.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard was sensational in Monday's matchup against the Denver Nuggets, helping the team tie the first-round series with a 105-102 road win. Leonard already had 21 points by halftime and finished as the leading scorer in the contest with 39 points on 15-for-19 shooting. He went 4-for-7 from deep, including a buzzer-beating triple to end the first half. The two-time Finals MVP also produced a high-level defensive effort, notching two steals and one block. Additionally, he had three rebounds and five assists in 39 minutes. Leonard has always been a strong playoff performer and looks set to have another impressive series. With two games played, he is shooting 70.6 percent against the Nuggets, averaging 30.5 points with 2.5 steals.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) has been tagged as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the San Antonio Spurs. Last week, Leonard played both legs of a back-to-back for the first time this season, but the Clippers once again have two games in as many nights, and the team may want to give the injury-prone star some time off. If Leonard exits the lineup on Tuesday, Norman Powell and Bogdan Bogdanovic will take on more significant roles on the offensive end. Meanwhile, Derrick Jones Jr. and Nicolas Batum will have the opportunity to earn more playing time, with one of them likely stepping into Leonard's role in the starting unit.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) won't suit up for Sunday's meeting with the Cavaliers. The Clippers play back-to-back contests, so Leonard will likely be back on Monday night against the Orlando Magic. In the meantime, Nicolas Batum is the favorite to take over at the four spot, with the veteran averaging 8.9 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.5 steals in eight starts during the 2024-25 campaign. Bogdan Bogdanovic should also be more involved on the offensive end behind James Harden and Norman Powell.

Los Angeles Clippers forwardKawhi Leonard(rest) will be unavailable to play against the Miami Heat on Wednesday. Leonard will have the night off to rest due to right knee injury management. The Clippers are in the second half of back-to-back games, so it is no surprise the 33-year-old is out. He finished with 29 points, eight rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block in 36 minutes of work during a 127-120 loss to New Orleans on Tuesday. With Leonard sidelined, Derrick Jones, Bogdan Bogdanovic, and Amir Coffeyare players who should see extra scoring opportunities during Wednesday's contest.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (rest) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the New York Knicks. The superstar forward appears to be ready for action again after sitting out the second leg of the back-to-back set on Wednesday. The Clippers are going to continue resting the oft-injured forward, especially with the playoffs getting closer. Fantasy managers should expect Leonard to have his normal workload during Friday's game. When healthy, Leonard has been an excellent fantasy option, so make sure to plug him back into lineups ahead of Friday's contest.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (rest) still hasn't been cleared for playing in back-to-backs yet. Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue reiterated this point to the media prior to Tuesday's loss to the Phoenix Suns. With that, don't expect Leonard to play in tonight's game against the Detroit Pistons. The plans for the 33-year-old are clearly to keep him healthy for the playoffs. Los Angeles is currently in the ninth seed in the West and holds a 3.5 game lead over the Suns in the 11th seed. With Leonard expected to sit, look for Derrick Jones Jr. to get the start if he's active as he's dealing with a groin issue. If neither are active, look for Amir Coffey or Nicolas Batum to play extended minutes.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (foot) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The superstar forward is set to return to the court after missing each of the last two games due to a foot injury. The expectation is that Leonard is going to have his full workload on Wednesday. He figures to be one of the primary scoring options, especially with Norman Powell (knee) still sidelined. Fantasy managers should make sure they get Leonard active in their lineups ahead of Wednesday's game.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (foot) will skip a second consecutive game on Monday against the Detroit Pistons. The injury-prone star is currently dealing with a foot problem. Norman Powell (knee) also misses out on Monday's action, meaning James Harden and Ivica Zubac will carry a large offensive load. Bogdan Bogdanovic is set to get a look in the starting unit. The Serbian veteran has averaged 14.9 points and 3.4 assists for his career as a starter. Monday's game will mark his first start of the 2024-25 campaign.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (foot) won't play on Sunday against Indiana. The veteran was questionable heading into this one because of foot soreness. But since he won't play, fantasy managers are left wondering if he'll be available for Monday's clash with the Detroit Pistons. With Norman Powell (knee) also out, Amir Coffey and Derrick Jones Jr. will enter the starting lineup. But James Harden, Ivica Zubac, and Bogdan Bogdanovic may be tasked with carrying most of the load on the offensive end.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (foot) is questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Indiana Pacers. Los Angeles plays consecutive games on Sunday and Monday, so fantasy managers should expect Leonard to miss at least one of those contests. If that's the case, Derrick Jones Jr. should slide into the starting lineup. However, James Harden, Ivica Zubac, and Norman Powell (knee) should benefit the most of the scoring end without Leonard. Bogdan Bogdanovic could see an uptick in fantasy production if Powell, who is questionable, isn't available.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) is available ahead of Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Leonard missed the final game before the All-Star break due to knee injury maintenance. Before that, Leonard had played 31 minutes or more in each of the last three games leading up to that contest. It's worth noting that the final game before the All-Star break was the second game of a back-to-back set, which is likely why Leonard sat out. He figures to play his normal role on Thursday, so fantasy managers should feel confident putting Leonard back into their lineups.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (rest) will not play in Thursday's matchup against the Utah Jazz. The team does not want to take any risks with its injury-prone star following Leonard's productive 34-minute outing in Wednesday's 128-114 win over the Memphis Grizzlies. Leonard had his second-highest scoring game of the season with 25 points and tallied five rebounds, four assists, and three steals. Amir Coffey, who recorded 15 points against Memphis, may start in place of Leonard on Thursday, with Bogdan Bogdanovic and Derrick Jones Jr. also in the mix for additional playing time.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard will see an increase in playing time ahead of Monday's game against the Phoenix Suns, according to head coach Ty Lue. Leonard has played 24 minutes in each of his last four games. That being said, the Clippers feel that Leonard is ready for a slightly heavier workload now. It seems unlikely that Leonard would jump into the 30-minutes mark, so around 26-28 range seems likely. Fantasy managers should get a slight boost in fantasy value from Leonard in this one.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (rest) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. The superstar forward will now miss his second game in a row due to right knee injury management. It's worth noting that Wednesday is the front end of a back-to-back set, so Leonard will hopefully be back in action against the Washington Wizards on Thursday. The absence of Leonard should mean more minutes for Kris Dunn, Amir Coffey, and Nicolas Batum for Wednesday's contest. None of them have great streaming appeal, but Coffey might be the best choice out of the bunch right now. The 27-year-old is averaging 10.3 points and 2.6 rebounds in 25 minutes per game. Coffey has been playing more minutes recently, but that could go down once Leonard is back in the picture.

Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.comreports that Los Angeles Clippers forwardKawhi Leonard(knee) will be sidelined for Monday's matchup with the Chicago Bulls due to right knee management. Leonard will have the night off during the second half of a back-to-back set after suiting up against the Lakers in a 116-102 win on Sunday.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. It appears Leonard is ready to return from his one-game absence due to knee injury management. His return to the court is a welcoming sight with the Clippers having a handful of players on the injury report. Both James Harden (illness) and Norman Powell (back) are in danger of sitting out this game. If that happens, Leonard will be asked to do the heavy lifting on offense, but he might still be somewhat limited given he has only played in four games this season. Regardless, fantasy managers in season-long formats can go ahead and get Leonard active on Sunday.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) will not play on the second night of the Clippers' back-to-back when they visit the Trail Blazers on Thursday. On Wednesday, Leonard played 24 minutes and had 23 points and two rebounds in the franchise-record 59-point win over the Nets, but the star will get Thursday off for injury management. Coach Ty Lue said before Wednesday's game that the plan was for Kawhi to get Thursday off, so it's no surprise that the team announced he is out. His absence will leave more work and upside for James Harden, Normal Powell, and Derrick Jones Jr. as the Clippers look to win their third straight game since having their game against the Hornets postponed last weekend.

Los Angeles Clippers forwardKawhi Leonard(personal) will not suit up against the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday, per NBA reporter Chris Haynes.

Terrance Mann, who recently recovered from a finger injury, may also take on more playing time versus the Nuggets.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) is available and is set to make his season debut against the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday. As expected, Leonard will be on a minutes restriction during his first game back in action. The return of Leonard is a welcoming sight for the Clippers who could desperately use his help right now. Derrick Jones Jr. figures to move to the bench and will lose fantasy appeal with Leonard returning. Norman Powell also is likely to lose some fantasy value once Leonard is back up to full speed. Fantasy managers in season-long formats can get Leonard back in their lineups while Leonard remains a risky play for DFS contests on Saturday.
