The LA Clippers are dead last in the league after starting 8-7 this season. Paul George has been doing his best to carry the team’s load while the team waits for another star player to return. It’s similar to what Kevin Durant is going through right now in Brooklyn. Today, the Clippers made Kawhi Leonard questionable for tonight’s game.
Leonard missed the entire 2021-22 season with an ACL injury, playing in just two games this season. He hasn’t played since 10/23, but he’s going to L.A. tonight. NBA betting sites have the Clippers at (+900) to win the Finals this season.

Kawhi Leonard was elevated to questionable for tonight’s game.
Kawhi has been sidelined since Oct. 23 with a right knee injury and soreness. However, there is a possibility that he will return to the Clippers tonight. In just two games this season, Leonard is averaging (12.5 points), (6.5 rebounds) and (2.0 assists) per game.
The Clippers have been taking it slow with Leonard and his knee injury. A separate ACL injury caused him to miss the entire season. LA certainly doesn’t want to let something like this happen again, hence their caution. They are second in the Pacific Division with an 8-7 record and are now the ninth best team in the Western Conference. Adding Kawhi back to the lineup could be huge for LA.
The Clips upgraded Kawhi Leonard to questionable from Detroit tonight.

Paul George has been carrying a heavy offensive load for the Clippers, but several role players have stepped up and made an impact. The team has five players, excluding Giorgis, averaging double-digit points this season. If this is the start of Leonard’s full-time comeback, their season could turn around for good.
