As concerns surrounding the health of Kawhi Leonard began to intensify, the two-time Finals MVP returned to action for the Clippers on Thursday, Nov. 17.
Leonard, who appeared in two of LA's first three games, was sidelined for three weeks with an issue in his reconstructed right knee. Days after his return to action, the Clippers welcome the Jazz to town, which would mark Leonard's first meeting with the team since first suffering his injury in June of 2021.
While the Clippers entered the season with very real title aspirations, injury and time missed by Leonard, among others, has the team sitting at 10-7 through one month of action. The Jazz, on the other hand, sit atop the Western Conference with a 12-6 record through 18 games.
As an aside, their records should serve as a reminder of how tight the West standings are to begin the season.
It's no secret that the Clippers are a different team with Leonard in action, so will he be suiting up when they host the first-place Jazz? Here is everything you need to know about Leonard's status and how to tune into Monday's game.
