Seems unlikely to play Sunday Leonard (knee) may not practice Saturday and his status is murky for Sunday's game against the Pelicans, Law Murray of The Athletic reports. Murray says he'd be "surprised" if Leon...

Impact Leonard's persistent knee soreness remains an issue, with the two-time Finals MVP appearing in just two games and playing 42 total minutes. At this rate, Leonard could be limited for much of the season. He has yet to play two games in a row and was sent home early from the Clippers' recent two-game road trip.

Impact Leonard hoped to play through the knee stiffness Tuesday, but he was instead returned to Los Angeles to receive further treatment. Even before the knee stiffness set in, Leonard was scheduled to sit out Thursday, per Law Murray of The Athletic. The Clippers are seemingly hopeful that Leonard will be ready to return to the floor Sunday against the Pelicans if he responds well to treatment.

Updated Injury Report: Kawhi Leonard OUT vs. OKC Thunder The LA Clippers will now be without Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and Marcus Morris vs. OKC

OCTOBER 25, 2022 • CHARLOTTEOBSERVER.COM

Late scratch Tuesday Leonard is out Tuesday against the Thunder due to right knee injury management, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

Impact There was no indication Leonard would be sitting Tuesday, so his late-day scratch comes as a surprise. With Paul George (illness) also out, the Clippers will presumably lean more on Norman Powell, Luke Kennard, Nicolas Batum and Robert Covington.

Earns seven free throws Leonard closed Sunday's 112-95 loss to Phoenix with 11 points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-7 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two steals across 21 minutes.

Impact Leonard continues flashing his ability while operating in a very restricted role. Multiple lockdown possessions on defense, as well as his willingness to seek contact offensively both mark good signs for the 31-year-old as he re-acclimates.

Coming off bench Sunday Leonard isn't starting Sunday's game against the Suns, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Leonard sat out the first half of a back-to-back set Saturday against the Kings, and he'll come off the bench a day later. Coach Tyronn Lue said that Leonard will be monitored during Sunday's matchup, but the 31-year-old won't have a hard minutes limit, Law Murray of The Athletic reports. Leonard played 21 minutes off the bench during Thursday's regular-season opener, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him handle a similar workload Sunday.

Won't suit up Saturday Leonard will miss Saturday's game against the Kings for rest and rehab purposes, Justin Russo of the 'Clip & Roll' podcastreports.

Impact Leonard isn't expected to play in back-to-backs to preserve his health coming off of a significant injury. As a result, he'll get a rest on the front end Saturday and should be back in the mix Sunday versus the Suns. Leonard's absence should leave Norman Powell in a starting role again, with Luke Kennard, Terrance Mann and Robert Covington, among others, potentially seeing additional action.

Lakers, Clippers show they're worlds apart in first meeting of season

Moves to bench Thursday Leonard racked up 14 points (6-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal over 21 minutes during Thursday's 103-97 victory over the Lakers.

Impact Leonard logged 21 minutes off the bench in the win, a decision that came as a bit of a surprise to many. Despite the move, he still managed a serviceable fantasy line, something that should be considered his floor moving forward. While this is unlikely to be the case for the remainder of the season, managers may have to readjust their expectations slightly until Leonard gets more game time under his belt.
