Signs contract extension Leonard signed a contract extension with the Clippers on Wednesday.
Impact The terms of the deal haven't been disclosed yet. Leonard was slated to be arguably the top free agent of the summer prior to this transaction, but the Clippers will be breathing a little easier Wednesday. Their attention will likely turn to Paul George going forward, as he holds a player option for the 2024-25 season. Leonard has been very durable this season and is playing well for the Clippers, holding averages of 23.8 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.8 steals and 2.3 three-pointers.

Kawhi Leonard's Honest Statement After Losing to Lakers and Beating Suns The LA Clippers bounced back after losing to the Los Angeles Lakers
JANUARY 10 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM
Shines on defense Monday Leonard notched 17 points (8-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, one block and five steals in 32 minutes during Monday's 138-111 victory over Phoenix.
Impact Leonard didn't get to the free-throw line in the contest, which limited his scoring to 17 points despite being one of only two players on Los Angeles to put up double-digit shot attempts. Still, the star forward made his presence felt with five steals, tying his season-high mark. Leonard also extended his streak of games with at least one block to six contests, marking his longest such run this season.

Impact Though Leonard has typically missed one half of back-to-back sets during his tenure with the Clippers, the team has been more receptive to letting him play both halves in 2023-24. Barring a late change of heart by the coaching and training staffs, Leonard will play both ends of a back-to-back set for the sixth time in seven opportunities this season. He's coming off a poor offensive showing in the loss Sunday, when he was held to 15 points and two assists while shooting 6-for-17 from the field and 2-for-7 from three-point range. Leonard made up for the lacking numbers in the scoring and assists columns by racking up eight boards, three steals and two blocks in his 35 minutes.

Errant shot thwarts total Leonard logged 15 points (6-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, two blocks and three steals across 35 minutes during Sunday's 106-103 loss to the Lakers.
Impact Solid play from Leonard is key to the Clippers' offensive success, but he was out of sync during Sunday's loss, converting only 35.2 percent of hid shots. The Lakers' defense deserves some credit for the lower total, as they came into the game with energy and aggressiveness and limited Leonard's opportunities.

Near double-double in win Leonard had 19 points (7-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 30 minutes during Friday's 111-95 win over New Orleans.
Impact Leonard was one board shy of notching his second double-double of the season. He missed four games in December with a left hip bruise, but has played in the Clippers' last three wins, all of which have been wins. The fact that Leonard has played in 30 of the team's 34 games is in stark contrast to his past three seasons in LA when he's missed 25 or more games each year. Over his last three games, Leonard is averaging 24.3 points on 52.0 percent shooting, 7.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.3 blocks and 2.3 steals over 34.7 minutes per game.

Shines on both ends of court Leonard posted 30 points (9-16 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 8-8 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals across 40 minutes during Wednesday's 131-122 victory over the Suns.
Impact Leonard and Paul George combined for 63 points in the win, with the former logging 30 points in just his second game back from a four-game absence due to a hip injury. Leonard's defensive effort paid dividends as well, as he recorded his first performance this year with multiple steals and multiple blocks. The star forward has scored at least 24 points in nine straight games, and over that stretch he's averaging 31.2 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 3.0 three-pointers, 1.7 steals and 0.8 blocks while shooting 61.3 percent from the field and 94.7 percent from the charity stripe.

Spins up 24 points in return Leonard recorded 24 points (10-19 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, five assists, one block and four steals over 34 minutes during Monday's 121-104 win over the Heat.
Impact It took a moment for Leonard to warm up, but he quickly got back to his prolific self. His dunk to begin the fourth quarter put the All-Star at the 13,000-point mark, a milestone he would have reached much quicker were it not for injuries and contract holdouts. Assuming Leonard can remain healthy, the Clippers will try to replicate its 11-2 record in December with several wins in January.
