Kawhi Leonard Likely Out Through The Weekend
4 weeks agoLos 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.
