Wed Jan 11 202311:07Kawhi Leonard Logs His Best Game Of The Season
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard has missed more games than he's played so far this season but has been playing more often as of late. On Tuesday, during the team's 113-101 win over the Dallas Mavericks, the 31-year-old posted his best game of the season with 33 points, nine rebounds, four assists, four steals, and one block. He shot 9-for-12 overall, 3-for-5 from beyond the arc, and a perfect 12-for-12 from the free throw line. If Leonard can remain healthy, for the most part, he'll rise in fantasy value exponentially.

Fri Jan 6 202320:07Kawhi Leonard, Paul George Sit Out Friday's Game
Los Angeles Clippers forwards Kawhi Leonard (knee) and Paul George (hamstring) have been ruled out for Friday's matchup against Minnesota. The duo was already unlikely to play because the team is finishing off a back-to-back set. Leonard hasn't played both games of a back-to-back all year and George has picked up a right hamstring problem that needs to be carefully managed. With the two superstars out, Norman Powell, Terance Mann and Marcus Morris Sr. are all in line for bigger minutes, while Reggie Jackson and John Wall should get a nice usage bump.

Fri Jan 6 202316:45Paul George, Kawhi Leonard Questionable For Friday’s Game
LA Clippers forwards Paul George (hamstring) and Kawhi Leonard (knee) have been deemed questionable to play in Friday's contest vs. Minnesota. While the duo both suited up Thursday, an early deficit led to the two stars combining for just 32 minutes of action; Leonard has yet to play both legs of a back-to-back this season as the Clippers ease him back to full speed. Should either George or Leonard (or both) sit out, increased roles would be in line for Norman Powell, Terance Mann and Marcus Morris Sr. on the wing. With Minnesota playing at the league's fourth-fastest pace, fantasy managers will want to check back prior to tip-off for final injury word as multiple Clippers could prove relevant in DFS contests.

Wed Jan 4 202320:20Kawhi Leonard Removed From Injury Report
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (illness) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The superstar forward is set to return after a one-game absence due to a non-COVID related illness. The 31-year-old hasn't been great this season, but is beginning to heat up. Leonard has been providing third round value over the last two weeks. Regardless, fantasy managers should make sure he's back in their lineups for Thursday's slate.

Mon Jan 2 202321:42Kawhi Leonard Ruled Out Against Miami
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (illness) will not play Monday against the Miami Heat. Leonard was added to the injury report with a non-COVID illness and does not feel well enough to play on Monday. Terrance Mann is slated to start in Leonard's absence while Nicolas Batum should also see a bump in minutes. Leonard should be considered questionable moving forward, but should not be expected to have a long term absence.

Mon Jan 2 202318:38Kawhi Leonard Uncertain For Monday
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (illness) has been added to the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Miami Heat. The superstar forward is dealing with a non-COVID related illness, which could sideline him for this game. His absence would mean more playing time for Terance Mann and Norman Powell. Both players should have increased value and be worth streaming if Leonard is unable to play.

Mon Dec 26 202218:53Kawhi Leonard Resting On Monday
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (rest) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The star forward will sit this game out for rest purposes, but should be ready to go for their next contest. In his absence, Nicolas Batum will move into the starting five on Monday. He has been providing fifth-round value in 9-cat formats over the last two weeks. He's well worth a look as a streaming choice with Leonard on the sideline here.

Fri Dec 23 202223:13Kawhi Leonard Scores 28 Points In Loss To Philly
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard scored a team-high 28 points in the loss to Philadelphia. He also added five assists and three rebounds. After suffering a setback with his knee early in the year, Leonard logged a season-high 34 minutes on Friday night, so fantasy managers have a reason to remain optimistic. While the veteran should get routine nights off throughout the remainder of the 2022-23 campaign, fantasy managers will accept an occasional absence as long as he remains healthy.

Sun Dec 18 202207:08Kawhi Leonard Leads All Scorers With 31 Points
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard put in a big performance in Saturday's meeting with Washington, leading all scorers with 31 points in a 102-93 win. He shot 12-for-26 from the field and 2-for-5 from outside. The Kawhi of old was back here, as the two-time Finals MVP added nine rebounds, one assist, three steals and one block to his line in 32 minutes. That's the most he has played this season, and the scoring performance was also Leonard's best of the year. The 31-year-old star kicked off the week with a nice 25-point effort against Boston, so it looks like he's getting close to being back to his best. However, the team is still keeping Leonard on a minutes restriction, and the Clippers certainly won't want to rush things after seeing Kawhi sit out a whole season.

Tue Dec 13 202209:01Kawhi Leonard Has His Best Outing Of The Season
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard reminded everyone on Monday that he is still a classy player, scoring 25 points and picking up nine rebounds and six assists in a 113-93 win over Boston. He missed only two of his 12 attempts from the field and went 2-for-3 with the three-ball while collecting one steal on the defensive end. Leonard set his season highs in points and rebounds while matching his 2022-23 best in the assists column. It was nice to see Kawhi looking back to his best, or at least close to it, but he's missed so much time that fantasy managers can't expect him to keep up the same level of play for a longer stretch. There's also a back-to-back set coming up next for the Clippers, which will likely result in Kawhi sitting out at least one of the games.

Thu Dec 8 202214:47Kawhi Leonard Won't Play Thursday
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) will sit out Thursday's matchup against the Heat. This is an expected move, as the team completes a back-to-back set. Leonard did a solid job against Orlando Wednesday with 14 points, seven rebounds and three assists in 30 minutes. It was only his seventh appearance of the season, and the injury-prone star clearly isn't in a state where he can play on back-to-back nights. With Kawhi on the shelf, the ball will mostly go through Paul George on Thursday, while Reggie Jackson and John Wall should have more opportunities offensively as well.

Tue Dec 6 202207:37Kawhi Leonard Returns With A Game-Winner
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard lifted his team to a 119-117 victory on Monday against Charlotte, hitting a game-winning jump shot with 1.4 seconds left to play. It completed his 16-point night. Kawhi was back from a six-game absence and logged 28 minutes on the court. He shot 7-for-15 overall from the field and had six rebounds with two assists and one turnover. This was far from his best performance, but at least Leonard was back on the court and that's the most important thing. The five-time All-Star has played in only six games this season, averaging 11.0 points with 4.3 rebounds and 3.2 assists. The 28 minutes were a season high for him, which is a big step in the right direction, and hopefully, he can now get a good run of games together.

Mon Dec 5 202217:51Kawhi Leonard Available On Monday
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) is available for Monday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. The superstar forward has missed the last six games due to a knee issue. He'll return here, but will likely be on a minutes limit during his first game back on the court. Regardless, fantasy managers in season-long formats should make sure to get Leonard back in their lineups. Amir Coffey and Terance Mann won't have much streaming appeal with Leonard and Paul George healthy.

Fri Dec 2 202217:40Paul George, Kawhi Leonard Return To Practice Friday
LA Clippers shooting guard Paul George (hamstring) and small forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) got back onto the practice court Friday, presumably paving the way for returns in the near future. That first look at game action could come as soon as Saturday against the Kings, although either star would likely be facing something of a minutes restriction. George has not suited up since Nov. 19, while Leonard has appeared in just five contests this year. While the duo remain sidelined, Reggie Jackson, Terance Mann, Marcus Morris Sr. and others will continue to carry the workload; upon the return of the All-Stars, both become immediate must-starts, even as their minutes will likely ebb as they get up to speed.

Tue Nov 29 202217:55Kawhi Leonard Won't Play Against Portland
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) now has an ankle issue added to his injury management with his knee. He was officially ruled out for the team's game on Tuesday against the Portland Trail Blazers. Since Paul George, Luke Kennard, and John Wall are all out as well, there are a lot of minutes and opportunities left vacant. Reggie Jackson, Amir Coffey, and Terance Mann all will see more minutes and usage. In the last game, these three saw a bulk of the minutes with Norman Powell chipping in from the bench.

Sat Nov 26 202223:06Kawhi Leonard Out Versus Indiana
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) won't play on Sunday against the Indiana Pacers. The 31-year-old has played in only five games this season because of a variety of ailments. However, with Leonard sitting out all of last year to recover from knee surgery, the team isn't expected to take any chances, making it possible he won't be back anytime soon. Nonetheless, the Clippers also won't have Paul George (knee) and Luke Kennard (calf) versus Indiana, so Reggie Jackson, Norman Powell, and John Wall are the favorites to lead the way on the offensive end.

Thu Nov 24 202221:36Kawhi Leonard To Sit On Friday
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. This marks the second game in a row that Leonard will miss due to a right ankle sprain. Amir Coffey will draw another start with Leonard on the sideline. On Wednesday, Coffey finished with 13 points, three rebounds, and seven assists in 36 minutes. He'll be worth streaming while Leonard is out. Norman Powell will also benefit with Leonard sidelined, so he could be worth looking at as well.

Wed Nov 23 202200:20Kawhi Leonard Out On Wednesday
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is out on Wednesday against the Warriors due to a sprained right ankle. Joining Leonard on the shelf are Paul George (hamstring) and Luke Kennard (calf), so L.A. will be without its primary scoring options. As a result, Reggie Jackson and Norman Powell, who combined for 57 points on Monday versus Utah, are the favorites to lead the way offensively. John Wall should also be involved, although he's averaged only 22 minutes per game this season.

Fri Nov 18 202211:29Kawhi Leonard Struggles In First Game Back
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) returned from a 12-game absence as he continued to rehab his knee. He entered the starting lineup but was on a minutes restriction. Across his 25 minutes played, he logged six points, five rebounds, and four assists while shooting 2-for-8 overall and 0-for-3 from beyond the arc. Since the minute restriction was expected, his value was going to have a cap on it. On top of that, there will need to be some time for Leonard to get acclimated to game speed again before he's a must-start again.

Thu Nov 17 202222:12Kawhi Leonard Will Suit Up On Thursday
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) will suit up for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The oft-injured forward will start on Thursday after going through his pre-game routine. Fantasy managers shouldn't get too excited though because Leonard is likely to be under a minutes limit here. Despite that, fantasy managers in season-long formats should get Leonard back in their lineups. Norman Powell and Terance Mann will see less touches with Leonard and Paul George healthy on Thursday.
