  Leonard (knee) is out for Tuesday's game versus the Spurs, Mark Medina of TheSportingTribune.com reports. Leonard has been downgraded from questionable to out for the first leg of the Clippers' back-to-back Tuesday due to right knee injury management.

• Clippers' Kawhi Leonard: Iffy for Tuesday

  Rotowire Apr 7, 2025

  Leonard (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Spurs, Law Murray of The Athletic reports. Leonard is questionable for the front end of the club's back-to-back due to right knee injury management. The star forward was able to play in both halves of the club's back-to-back set against Dallas on Friday and Saturday, which is an encouraging sign for the Clippers as they fight to stay out of the Play-In Tournament. If the superstar joins Amir Coffey (knee) on the sideline against San Antonio, Derrick Jones and Nicolas Batum are candidates for an uptick in playing time.

• Clippers' Kawhi Leonard: Drops 29 points in blowout win

  Rotowire Apr 6, 2025

  Leonard racked up 29 points (12-19 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists, three steals and one block across 25 minutes in Saturday's 135-104 victory over Dallas. For the first time all season, Leonard took the court for both games of a back-to-back set, which was a byproduct of the Clippers looking to keep pace in a tight race for a top-six seed in the Western Conference playoffs. After logging 24 minutes in Friday's win over Dallas, Leonard had his playing time limited again in the rematch, though he may have logged a heftier workload if the Clippers hadn't raced out to a 23-point lead after three quarters. The Clippers have another back-to-back set coming up Tuesday and Wednesday versus the Spurs and Rockets, respectively, and while Leonard looks like a good bet to play in both of those contests, the Clippers may once again look to keep his minutes in check for both games.

• Clippers' Kawhi Leonard: Deemed questionable for Saturday

  Rotowire Apr 5, 2025

  Leonard is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Mavericks due to right knee injury management, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports. Leonard has yet to play both ends of a back-to-back set this season, but the Clippers could be willing to make him available for Saturday while the team has every incentive to push for wins over its final five games of the regular season to avoid a spot in the Play-In Tournament. Additionally, Leonard is coming off a 24-minute workload in Friday's easy 114-91 win over Dallas, so he could be relatively fresh for Saturday if the Clippers opt to make him available.

• Clippers' Kawhi Leonard: Iffy to play Saturday

  Rotowire Apr 5, 2025

  Head coach Tyronn Lue said after Friday's 114-91 win over the Mavericks that Leonard will be "evaluated" early Saturday before the Clippers determine his status for their rematch with Dallas later that day, Joey Linn of SI.com reports. Leonard handled a light workload Friday, playing 24 minutes and finishing with 20 points (8-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal. The star forward hasn't played both ends of a back-to-back set all season as the Clippers take a cautious approach with him coming off an offseason procedure on his right knee, but Lue didn't close the door on Leonard breaking that trend Saturday. Since he logged a less-than-full workload Friday, Leonard should be fresher than he normally would be heading into the second leg of a back-to-back, and the Clippers have further incentive to make him available Saturday while they're locked in a tight battle with multiple teams to avoid a spot in the Western Conference Play-In Tournament.

• Clippers' Kawhi Leonard: Status uncertain for Saturday

  Rotowire Apr 5, 2025

  There's uncertainty as to whether Leonard will play Saturday against the Mavericks in the second leg of a back-to-back set, and head coach Tyronn Lue said the situation "will be evaluated tomorrow," Joey Linn of SI.com reports. Leonard isn't used to playing the second leg of back-to-back sets as part of his recovery process from all the injuries he's had over the last few years. However, he might suit up Saturday since he didn't have a lot of action in Friday's 114-91 win over Dallas. He finished with 20 points (8-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and a steal across 24 minutes.

• Clippers' Kawhi Leonard: Scores team-high 28 points

  Rotowire Apr 3, 2025

  Leonard supplied 28 points (11-18 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 114-98 win over New Orleans. With Leonard fully healthy, the Clippers are doing what they need to do as they jockey for playoff position. Leonard demonstrated his ability to turn on the jets late in the season during his title-winning year with the Raptors, and he appears poised to play a similar role in LA if he can stay on the court. The Clippers gave two back-to-back sets coming up on the schedule, so Leonard will likely sit out for a couple of games over the next week.

• Clippers' Kawhi Leonard: Pours in 21 points in win

  Rotowire Mar 31, 2025

  Leonard finished Monday's 96-87 win over Orlando with 21 points (8-22 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 39 minutes. The superstar recorded 20-plus points for a ninth consecutive contest Monday, tying Norman Powell for the team-high mark in points. Leonard delivered an abysmal performance from beyond the arc, though he had shot 60.0 percent from three-point range in his previous five outings. The veteran forward has seemingly been returning to his old form of late, which has resulted in the club winning eight of its last 10 outings in which the six-time All-Star has played.

• Clippers' Kawhi Leonard: Not playing Sunday

  Rotowire Mar 29, 2025

  Leonard (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers, independent NBA writer Justin Russo reports. With the Clippers beginning a back-to-back set Sunday, Leonard will sit out of the first leg for injury management but should be available for Monday's clash against the Magic. Derrick Jones is the top candidate to enter the Clippers' starting lineup in Leonard's absence. Leonard has averaged 24.6 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.6 three-pointers and 2.0 steals in 35.7 minutes per game over 15 appearances since the All-Star break.
