After playing in two of the Clippers' first three games, Kawhi Leonard hasn't played since.
He showed little rust in his season debut against the Los Angeles Lakers, coming off the bench with 14 points and seven rebounds in 21 minutes — his first game since suffering a partially torn ACL in the 2021 NBA Playoffs
He then played 21 minutes in their third game of the campaign, a loss to the Phoenix Suns, but has been inactive for their seven games since, due to injury management of his right knee.
The Clippers are clearly taking a cautious approach with Leonard in his return. What does that mean for his status Monday night?
Here's the latest on Leonard's availability for LA's matchup with Cleveland.

Is Kawhi Leonard playing vs. Cavaliers tonight?
Per the official injury report, Leonard has been listed as 'out' for tonight's matchup against the Cavaliers.
Ahead of their game against the Jazz on Sunday, head coach Ty Lue said Leonard had been doing individual work, however, there is no current timetable for his return.
"He's feeling pretty good. He's progressing in the right direction," Lue said. "That's the most important thing for us. There's really not a timeframe on when he's going to be back."
