Kawhi  Leonard
Team: Los Angeles Clippers
Position: SF, SG
Age: 33
Height: 201 cm
Weight: 102 kg
Birth place: Riverside, United States of America

This game will mark his 43rd absence of the season. This comes as Leonard continues to battle injury concerns, he’s averaged 18.6 points and 5.1 rebounds per game, but has struggled to stay on the court consistently.

Joining Leonard on the injury list are Norman Powell (hamstring) and Ben Simmons (knee), both of whom will also be unavailable for the matchup.

 

Currently sitting at eighth in the Western Conference with a 35-30 record, the Clippers will need all hands on deck as they push for a playoff spot.
