LA Clippers star Kawhi Leonard, recovering from a right knee injury, continues to make progress but remains sidelined for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies.
LA Clippers star Kawhi Leonard , who has been out all season recovering from a right knee injury, is trending towards a return. Leonard progressed to full contact five-on-five practice earlier this month. Coach Ty Lue continues to communicate that Leonard is progressing well and checking all the necessary boxes before returning to game action. The Clippers are facing the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday to finish off a three-game road trip.
Memphis enters this game with the second-best record in the Western Conference at 20-9. Following this contest against Memphis, the Clippers will head home to host the Golden State Warriors on December 27. Releasing their injury report for Monday’s game against Memphis, the Clippers have ruled Leonard out. While he did travel with the Clippers for the first time this season, Leonard was not expected to play. The team will return home after this game and have three days off before hosting Golden State in what could be Leonard’s season debut. James Harden said of Leonard being back at practice, “Great. It’s Kawhi Leonard. We’re gonna be more excited to have him when we full practice… He’s inching his way back towards the court… Whenever he’s ready, we’re ready for him.” Lue has shared similar thoughts, saying at a recent practice, “It raised our energy. Just for our guys to see him on the floor brought a juice to our team. We needed that jolt.
