Sun Mar 26 202322:03Kawhi Leonard Probable On Monday Evening
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.

Fri Mar 24 202309:38Kawhi Leonard Drops 32 Points In Win
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard put on a show during Thursday's win over the Oklahoma City Thunder. The superstar forward is going to be asked to take on a bigger role with Paul George (knee) sidelined for the next few weeks. Leonard looked great on Thursday as he only missed two shots from the floor. He finished with 32 points, six rebounds, six assists, four steals in 35 minutes of action. 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
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard had one of his best outings of the season on Saturday, producing a game-high 38 points on 14-for-22 shooting in a 106-95 win over the Knicks. He was 3-for-6 with the three-ball and capped things off with four rebounds, two assists and one steal. 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.

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.

The superstar forward has played in five straight games, but that streak will end on Friday. Newly acquired guards Eric Gordon and Bones Hyland are unlikely to be ready in time to play on Friday.

He has been back to his best this month, averaging 27.2 points, 6.4 rebounds and 3.9 assists with 1.6 steals.

Thu Jan 19 202322:05Kawhi Leonard Expected To Play On Friday
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The veteran forward should be available after sitting out their last contest for rest purposes. The expectation is that Leonard will return to the starting five and have his normal workload. His return should shift Nicolas Batum to the second unit. Batum won't be worth streaming in most fantasy formats while he's coming off the bench.

Wed Jan 18 202317:53Paul George And Kawhi Leonard Resting Wednesday
The Los Angeles Clippers will rest their star forwards Paul George (hamstring) and Kawhi Leonard (knee) Wednesday against the Utah Jazz. The Clippers are entering the second night of a back-to-back and will go through their routine injury management protocol with George and Leonard. Leonard has not been playing in back-to-backs this season and George just came back from a five-game absence so this should not come as a surprise. Nicolas Batum and Terance Mann should see the biggest bump in usage on Wednesday.
