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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard produced a team-high 27 points in Saturday's 126-125 win over the Trail Blazers, shooting 7-for-17 from the field with a 3-for-8 record from deep. It was a pretty poor shooting performance for Kawhi, but he saved his scoring numbers with a 10-for-10 effort at the charity stripe. 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.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard produced a game-high 40 points against New Orleans Saturday, but his squad had to settle for a 122-114 loss. Playing in the second game of a back-to-back for the first time this season, Kawhi fired in four triples with eight attempts and finished 15-for-28 overall from the field with eight rebounds, four assists and one block. He played 41 minutes after getting shut down early Friday versus Memphis and logging only 18 minutes. Leonard is set for a big finish to the regular season with Paul George (knee) shelved for the rest of the way. He's produced five nights with 30-plus points in 11 games without George this season.

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.
