Kawhi Leonard Comes Off Bench For First Time In Nine Years - RealGM Wiretap
Kawhi Leonard made his return to the court after a year-and-a-half, but that return took a bit longer than was expected. Leonard came off the bench for the first time since November of 213, when he was still and up-and-coming player with the San Antonio Spurs.
Make an impact at the end of the game is exactly what Leonard did. He drew a key charge from LeBron James late in the fourth quarter. Leonard then knocked down a jumper with under a minute to play to help the Clippers hold off the rival Lakers.
