Fri Mar 1518:45Kawhi Leonard, Paul George Expected To Play On Friday
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (back) and guard Paul George (knee) have been removed from the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. There was some uncertainty that the two superstars would sit given it's the second night of a back-to-back set. Despite that, both players are expected to suit up and play their normal roles on Friday. Fantasy managers should double check ahead of tip-off just in case there is a last second change to the lineup.

Thu Mar 1418:41Kawhi Leonard Will Play Against Chicago
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (back) will suit up on Thursday against Chicago. He exited Tuesday's loss to Minnesota, leaving the arena before the end of the first half. As a result, many had assumed he wouldn't be available on Thursday and possibly Friday's game in New Orleans. However, Leonard is good to go and can be added to all fantasy lineups. Unfortunately, his availability could mean less work for Amir Coffey, who was in line to get more involved on the scoring end.

Wed Mar 1319:57Kawhi Leonard Questionable On Thursday
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (back) is questionable for Thursday's meeting with Chicago. The veteran left Tuesday's matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves and was shown leaving the arena before the end of the first half. Although details were scarce, TNT's Stephanie Ready eventually reported that Leonard was bothered by back spasms. He has played 58 games this season, his most as a Clipper. But considering the 32-year-old is also dealing with a groin strain, fantasy managers shouldn't expect to see him out there on Thursday. There's also a realistic chance he won't be in the lineup on Friday in New Orleans. Nonetheless, until Leonard returns, Amir Coffey, averaging 11.3 points and 3.9 boards in 10 starts this season, could fill the void. There will also be more scoring opportunities for Paul George, Norman Powell, and James Harden (shoulder).

Tue Mar 1223:34Kawhi Leonard Dealing With Back Spasms
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (back) exited Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Details were initially scarce surrounding his departure. However, he was shown leaving the arena in street clothes, so most assumed things weren't good. TNT's Stephanie Ready provided an update, reporting that the 32-year-old was bothered by back spasms. Leonard missed Sunday's game with a groin injury and had been questionable heading into this one for the same reason. But now there's a chance he won't be available for Thursday's meeting with Chicago or Friday's contest versus New Orleans. Considering both games are on the road, Leonard might remain in Los Angeles in preparation for the Clippers' next home game on March 17. That said, if the multi-time All-Star misses time, Norman Powell and Amir Coffey could benefit the most from a fantasy standpoint.

Tue Mar 1223:23Kawhi Leonard Done For Tuesday, Leaves The Arena
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard exited Tuesday's meeting with the Minnesota Timberwolves. He logged just 12 minutes on the night, finishing with six points, two rebounds, and two assists. Interestingly enough, Leonard was shown exiting the arena before the end of the first half, although nobody has said why. The 32-year-old has been battling a groin strain, so many assume he's heading to the hospital. Either way, there could be an update soon. In the meantime, Norman Powell should get plenty of minutes for the remainder of the contest.

Tue Mar 1221:16Kawhi Leonard Playing Tuesday Versus Minnesota
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (groin) is playing on Tuesday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. A sore groin kept the 32-year-old off the floor for Sunday's loss to Milwaukee. However, he did play on Friday, logging 19 points, nine rebounds, and four assists in 38 minutes versus Chicago. Amir Coffey will retreat back to the bench after recording a double-double on Sunday. Paul George (knee) will also be available after missing Sunday's contest with right-knee soreness.

Mon Mar 1121:42Kawhi Leonard Questionable Versus Minnesota
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (groin) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He had 19 points and nine boards in Saturday's win over the Chicago Bulls. However, a sore groin kept the 32-year-old off the floor for Sunday's loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. There hasn't been anything to indicate Leonard's injury is something that will keep him sidelined for more than a few games. With this in mind, the Clippers are looking for a championship, meaning Leonard could be held out to rest. If he's in the lineup on Tuesday, Amir Coffey, coming off a double-double on Sunday, would be an attractive DFS option, especially if Paul George (knee) also misses another game.

Sun Mar 1013:42Kawhi Leonard Out Against Milwaukee
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (groin) won't play on Sunday versus the Bucks. The 32-year-old has remained relatively healthy all season. However, he logged 38 minutes on Saturday against the Chicago Bulls, falling one board shy of a double-double, so he'll get the afternoon off. Paul George (knee) is also out on Sunday, opening the door for James Harden (shoulder), who will play, to lead the offensive. At the same time, guys like Norman Powell, coming off an 18-point effort, Ivica Zubac and Tre Mann should get more involved on the scoring end.

Sat Mar 915:37Kawhi Leonard Available Versus The Bulls
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (groin) will suit up for Saturday's game against Chicago. The 32-year-old has had an MVP-caliber season, averaging 24.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 1.8 steals. While those numbers are impressive, he has missed just five games this season, which is even more appreciated by fantasy managers. That said, the Clippers will play the Bucks on Sunday, meaning Leonard, Paul George (knee), and James Harden (shoulder) could see less work than usual if Los Angeles builds a decisive lead, which is certainly possible versus the 31-32 Bulls.

Sat Mar 900:06Kawhi Leonard Questionable Saturday
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (groin) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls due to a left groin injury. The Clippers could be very shorthanded as James Harden (shoulder) and Paul George (knee) are also questionable. More information on the status of these players is expected closer to game time. In the event that Leonard is unable to play, Amir Coffey is expected to benefit the most.

Thu Feb 2215:10Kawhi Leonard Back From Strained Groin
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (groin) is not spotted on the injury report for Thursday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Leonard was unable to play in L.A.'s final contest before the All-Star break due to a strained left groin, but he participated in Sunday's All-Star Game and is available on Thursday. It's a tough matchup against a Thunder team holding opponents to the third-best field-goal percentage (45.3%) in the league, though.

Wed Feb 1415:08Kawhi Leonard Out With Groin Strain
The Los Angeles Clippers say forward Kawhi Leonard (groin) is out for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Leonard is dealing with a strained left groin and will miss his first game since late December. Groin strains can be tricky and tend to result in multi-week absences, so while the All-Star break comes at the right time for Leonard and the Clips, there's no guarantee the two-way superstar will be ready to go when play resumes on Feb. 22 in a showdown with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Paul George and James Harden will steer the offense on Wednesday, and Amir Coffey figures to make a spot start in L.A.'s first unit. In seven starting appearances this year, Coffey has averaged only 10.7 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.7 three-pointers, and 1.3 assists and isn't a great streaming option for fantasy purposes.

Mon Jan 120:58Kawhi Leonard Will Suit Up Versus Miami
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (hip) will play on Monday against the Miami Heat. The 32-year-old has had another productive season, averaging 24.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 1.5 steals. Unfortunately, he missed the Clippers' previous four games because of a hip contusion. However, he's practiced fully over the last few days, so he's good to go. With Leonard back in the mix, Amir Coffey will head back to the bench, and he'll take any streaming potential with him.

Mon Jan 114:31Kawhi Leonard Questionable Versus The Heat
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (hip) is questionable ahead of Monday's meeting with the Miami Heat. Leonard has missed the last four games because of a left hip contusion. He practiced fully on Sunday. However, head coach Ty Lue couldn't say when Leonard would be back on the floor. Nonetheless, if the 32-year-old can't suit up for a fifth consecutive contest, Amir Coffey would presumably remain in the starting lineup. Coffey finished with 13 points and a steal in 31 minutes the other night against the Grizzlies. Unfortunately, he's not a trustworthy streaming option for those looking to fill the void in their lineups.

Fri Dec 29 202321:14Kawhi Leonard Out Again On Friday Evening
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (hip) remains out on Friday night versus Memphis. He's missed the last three games because of a hip issue, an injury he picked up a few weeks ago versus the Jazz. Leonard initially played through the ailment. However, the veteran will need more time to work his way back. Leonard has played well this season, averaging 24.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 1.5 steals, so guys like James Harden, Paul George, Ivica Zubac, and Russell Westbrook will be needed to fill some of the void left by his absence. In addition, Terance Mann, Amir Coffey, and Norman Powell could see an uptick in fantasy production, although all three players aren't reliable options for any lineup.

Fri Dec 29 202310:44Kawhi Leonard Officially Listed As Questionable On Friday
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (hip) was seen practicing in a limited capacity on Thursday and is now officially on the injury report as questionable for their game against the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday. Leonard was enjoying one of his healthiest seasons in a long time up until this hip issue. He's missed the last three consecutive games and is in danger of missing a fourth. Even though he was able to practice a little bit on Thursday, it doesn't sound realistic to expect him back on Friday. Fantasy managers will want to monitor his status as the team goes through shootaround and warmups. Terance Mann, Amir Coffey, and Norman Powell will all see more usage and minutes if Leonard has to miss another game.

Thu Dec 28 202319:07Kawhi Leonard Practicing In A Limited Capacity
Los Angeles Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue says forward Kawhi Leonard (hip) is practicing "a little bit" on Thursday. Leonard has missed the team's past three games due to a left hip contusion after a fall in the fourth quarter of Dec. 20's game. A limited practice session would appear to give Leonard a fair chance of making his return, however, on Friday versus the visiting Memphis Grizzlies. The oft-injured 32-year-old two-time NBA Finals MVP has paid off his fantasy draft cost in a big way during a mostly healthy 2023-24, bringing in 24.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.3 three-pointers, and 1.5 steals per game. The Clippers have lost two out of three games without Leonard. Lue has shuffled Leonard's minutes among several players, essentially leaving no one with a substantial boost in fantasy worth. Russell Westbrook is probably the best bet, tallying a double-double in two of his last three nights.

Tue Dec 26 202321:15Kawhi Leonard To Miss Third Straight Game
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (hip) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. The superstar forward will miss his third game in a row due to a left hip contusion. The Clippers are calling it a day-to-day issue, so hopefully Leonard will be back in the lineup for their next game. In the meantime, Amir Coffey should remain in the starting five, while Norman Powell gets more minutes off the bench. Between the two, Coffey is the much better streaming choice due to his scoring ability.

Sat Dec 23 202314:32Kawhi Leonard Out Again On Saturday
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (hip) won't play in Saturday's meeting with the Boston Celtics. The 32-year-old has remained relatively healthy all season, which is good news for fantasy managers. Unfortunately, he's battling a hip contusion, so he'll miss a second straight contest. Nonetheless, Amir Coffey will likely continue to fill the void. Coffey has averaged 13.0 points and 4.3 rebounds in three starts this season, giving him some upside for those needing a streaming option. He'll also be a popular DFS target. However, Leonard's absence will likely mean more offensive opportunities for Paul George, James Harden, and Russell Westbrook, who had 15 points and 13 rebounds versus OKC on Thursday night.

Sat Dec 23 202309:23Kawhi Leonard Questionable Saturday
Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Kawhi Leonard (hip) is considered questionable for Saturday's game against Boston. The veteran star just skipped his first game of the season with a hip issue, and it looks like he could be out for another one against the Celtics. Amir Coffey got the start when Leonard was out on Thursday versus the Thunder, scoring nine points and grabbing four rebounds in 33 minutes. He could be set for a second consecutive start if Leonard continues to sit, although Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue might switch things up on Saturday after seeing his side beaten heavily by Oklahoma City.
