Kawhi Leonard hasn’t yet played this season as he recovers from a torn ACL and it’s not clear whether he’ll make his 2022 debut during the postseason. Coach Ty Lue has vocally been bullish about the possibility of Leonard playing all season and his latest comments don’t provide hope for a return.
The Clippers ushered Paul George and Norman Powell back from their respective injuries and are set to be a dangerous team in the Western Conference. Los Angeles is locked into the No. 8 overall seed, taking on the Kings on Saturday night and Thunder on Sunday before a matchup with the Timberwolves on Tuesday in the 7-8 Play-In Game.
