The Clippers are starting to see superstar forward Kawhi Leonard look like the player he was before his ACL injury.
After missing the entire 2021-22 season, Leonard began the 2022-23 season on a minutes restriction. He also suffered a setback earlier in the year, causing him to miss 19 of the Clippers' first 24 games.
Upon his return, Leonard averaged just 19.4 points over his first 12 games back. Recently, he has turned the corner in a big way.
Over his last 19 games, Leonard is averaging 28.7 points, 6.4 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.8 steals per game on efficient .534/.495/.915 shooting splits. He has scored 77 points (!) over his last two games, going for 44 points in a loss to the Kings and 33 points in a loss to the Nuggets.
As the Clippers look to bounce back from consecutive losses, will Leonard be available for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves? The Sporting News has the latest updates on his status below.
