Kawhi Leonard - Progressing, but no timeline Leonard (knee) has not yet been cleared to take contact, but he's been spotted shooting during the Clippers' recent practices and traveled with the team for its back-to-back road g...
Impact The Clippers haven't provided many formal updates regarding where Leonard stands in his recovery from surgery to address a partial ACL tear of his right knee, an injury he sustained in LA's Western Conference semifinals matchup with the Jazz last June. Though fantasy managers may have selected Leonard in drafts with the hope that a partial ACL tear rather than a full tear might require a shorter recovery timeline, he's now more than eight months removed from surgery and doesn't look to be a close to a return. Meanwhile, Paul George has been sidelined since late December and also hasn't resumed practicing with the team, but Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported March 9 that the Clippers have far more optimism about George returning to action in 2021-22 than Leonard. At this point, it would be a surprise if Leonard played before the regular season ends April 10, and the Clippers may need to make a deep postseason run for the 30-year-old to reach a point in his recovery from the knee injury where he'll be ready to play.

Paul George - Not cleared for full shooting work George (elbow) has been limited to shooting within 17 feet of the hoop while participating in the Clippers' recent team shootarounds, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Impact Since Murray's report is from March 9, it's possible that George has taken some steps forward in his recovery over the past week, but head coach Tyronn Lue nor anyone else in the organization has disclosed as much. With that in mind, George's return probably shouldn't be viewed as imminent, as he'll not only need to prove that his sprained right elbow doesn't affect his shooting from any distance, but he'll also need to regain conditioning by taking part in full practices after having not played since Dec. 22. The Clippers aren't shutting George down and seemingly remain optimistic that he'll play again in 2021-22, though his absence appears destined to stretch into April at this stage.

Semi Ojeleye - Tallies season-high point total Ojeleye finished Friday's 121-92 loss to the Jazz with 13 points (3-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, one assist and two steals across 24 minutes.
Impact The Clippers trailed by 37 at halftime and got little production from their starters, giving players like Ojeleye more opportunity than usual. The fifth-year forward logged his most minutes as a Clipper and finished with his highest scoring output of the season, finishing with double-digit points for just the second time. Ojeleye put forth tepid production even when regularly playing 20-30 minutes for Milwaukee earlier this season, so there's little reason to expect this solid effort to portend sudden fantasy relevance.

Isaiah Hartenstein - Posts strong all-around effort Hartenstein totaled four points (2-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), nine rebounds, eight assists, four blocks and two steals over 25 minutes during Friday's 121-92 loss to the Jazz.
Impact Hartenstein didn't do much offensively in the blowout loss, but he nonetheless put together a productive performance off the bench. The big man led Los Angeles in rebounds, assists and blocked shots, chipping in a pair of steals for good measure. Hartenstein entered the contest averaging 9.8 points, 5.3 boards, 2.4 dimes, 1.4 blocks and 0.8 steals over 20.6 minutes across his previous 12 games, so he appears to be set for an important role as the team approaches a spot in the play-in tournament.

Robert Covington - Paces Clippers with 18 points Covington supplied 18 points (6-14 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist, two blocks and three steals in 30 minutes during Friday's 121-92 loss to the Jazz.
Impact In a game during which Los Angeles fell behind by 37 points at halftime and had no starter score in double-digits, the most surprising development may have been Covington finishing as the team's leading point-producer. The defensive-minded forward entered Friday averaging just 8.1 points since joining the team, and he hadn't scored 18 points in any contest since Jan. 10. This offensive output isn't likely to be a trend moving forward, so his viability in fantasy will likely continue to depend almost entirely on his ability to rack up defensive stats, as he also did Friday.

Brandon Boston Jr. - Sent to G League The Clippers assigned Boston to the G League's Agua Caliente Clippers on Thursday, Andrew Greif of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Impact The Clippers will remain without all of Paul George (elbow), Norman Powell (foot) and Kawhi Leonard (knee) for the foreseeable future, but those absences haven't cleared the way for Boston to find a consistent rotation spot of late. After failing to get off the bench in the Clippers' most recent game Wednesday against the Raptors, the rookie will now head to the G League in search of meaningful playing time.

Marcus Morris Sr. - Posts strong stat line Wednesday Morris ended Wednesday's 103-100 loss to Toronto with 22 points (9-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and seven assists in 35 minutes.
Impact Morris finished one point behind Reggie Jackson for the team lead in scoring and rounded out a strong all-around effort with six boards and a season-high seven assists. He didn't record any defensive stats but also finished the contest with no turnovers. Morris rested Monday and could see more off days down the stretch with the Clippers all but locked into a play-in spot as the eighth seed in the Western Conference.
