Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) will sit out a sixth consecutive game on Wednesday versus Phoenix. Leonard has yet to see any action this month after previously missing only six games this season. P.J. Tucker and Norman Powell have picked up starts in his place. The former started three straight games before completely dropping out of the rotation on Tuesday against the Suns. Powell entered the first unit to register 10 points and five rebounds across 33 minutes. It was a fairly quiet evening for him, and Powell should be capable of much more if he maintains the role for Wednesday's rematch.
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) will not suit up for Tuesday's game versus the Phoenix Suns. This will be his fifth straight game that he will be sidelined because of right knee inflammation. Leonard being on the injury report is nothing new, and as the playoffs approach, Clippers fans and fantasy managers can only hope this is not a serious injury. While he sits out, Los Angeles will likely lean on Norman Powell, Terance Mann, and Amir Coffey to take on more prominent roles.
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) won't suit up for Sunday's meeting with Cleveland. There were reports that this was expected to happen, so the update isn't surprising. But now that the veteran is sidelined for a fourth consecutive contest, there is a growing cause for concern regarding his knee injury. At any rate, Paul George and James Harden should remain the Clippers' top offensive contributors while Leonard is on the shelf. At the same time, Norman Powell, Russell Westbrook, Ivica Zubac, and Amir Coffey could also benefit.
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) isn't expected to play on Friday versus the Utah Jazz or Sunday against the Cleveland Cavaliers, according to The Athletic's Law Murray. Leonard has already been ruled out for Thursday's showdown against the defending-champion Denver Nuggets due to right knee soreness, and it remains to be seen if he will travel with the team when LA meets the Phoenix Suns in the desert on Tuesday. The 47-28 Clippers aren't going to fool around with the oft-injured Leonard this close to the playoffs, and it sounds like the two-way superstar won't be available for the remainder of the fantasy finals. The sharpshooting Norman Powell figures to continue starting for the Clips, averaging 16.3 points and 2.1 triples while shooting 39.1% from long distance over his last 12 games (one start). He's strictly a source of points and treys for fantasy purposes.
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) won't play on Thursday against Denver. Head coach Ty Lue reported Leonard experienced knee soreness after Sunday's win over Charlotte, describing the issue as "new." As a result, he didn't suit up for Tuesday's loss to the Sacramento Kings. With any of Leonard's ailments over the years, this has been frustrating for fantasy managers, considering he's been relatively healthy all season. But until he's back on the floor, James Harden, Norman Powell, and Paul George should benefit the most offensively out of those in the starting lineup. Yet, Russell Westbrook, who had a game-high 20 points versus the Kings from off the bench, may be on the verge of a breakout.
