Clippers' Kawhi Leonard: Won't play Tuesday
Leonard (knee) will not play in Tuesday's preseason game against the Nets, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
This isn't the least bit surprising, as Leonard has yet to be cleared for 5-on-5 scrimmages. The Clippers will continue to bring him along slowly, and it will be interesting to see if Leonard can play Opening Night against the Suns on Oct. 23, which he previously indicated was a sure thing.

Clippers' Kawhi Leonard: Not clear for scrimmages
Leonard (knee) will be held out of 5-on-5 action during Wednesday's practice, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Leonard was expected to be limited throughout the beginning of training camp, but Wednesday serves as the first threshold that the 33-year-old will fall short of. Leonard is planning to be ready for Opening Night on Oct. 23 against Phoenix, although his ability to play in future 5-on-5 scrimmages will be a critical milestone to hit in the coming weeks.

Clippers' Kawhi Leonard: Hopeful for Opening Night
Leonard (knee) said Monday that the plan is to be ready for Opening Night against the Suns on Oct. 23, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Leonard underwent offseason surgery to address swelling in his knee, and he's expected to be limited to begin training camp. Leonard mentioned he'll have to manage his knee issue for the remainder of his career, and the Clippers will proceed with extreme caution to ensure he's close to full strength for the playoffs. Fantasy managers should take Leonard's optimism with a grain of salt for that reason.

Clippers' Kawhi Leonard: Limited to begin training camp
President of basketball operations Lawrence Frank said Tuesday that Leonard's (knee) swelling has gone down significantly, but the forward will be held out of certain drill work to open training camp, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.comreports.
While Leonard continues to be limited by right knee inflammation, it appears he is progressing in his recovery ahead of the 2024-25 campaign. Frank mentioned the star forward will focus on strengthening and loading as he works back to full health. Regardless, Leonard should be expected to miss quite a few games this season for load management, especially during back-to-backs.

Clippers' Kawhi Leonard: Will be ready for camp, per Lue
Coach Tyronn Lue said Leonard (knee) will be ready for training camp in October, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.
"I speak to [Leonard] all the time," Lue told ESPN last week. "He'll be ready for training camp. He's feeling good, and I know he'll be ready for training camp." Leonard's injury-plagued past is no secret, and it popped up at the worst time last season. After appearing in 68 regular-season games -- his most since 2016-17 with the Spurs -- Leonard missed 12 of the Clippers' last 14 contests, including three postseason games. He was on track to play for Team USA at the Paris Olympics this summer, but the chronic knee injury sidelined him again. Lue coached for Team USA and appears well-informed on Leonard's situation, plus the six-time All-Star has proven capable of returning to form following devasting injuries. However, the history of health issues presents a red flag from a fantasy perspective.
