Kawhi Leonard's Latest Injury Update After Clippers Practice

LA Clippers star Kawhi Leonard practiced with the team on Tuesday for the first time this season. The two-time Finals MVP did not take contact, but did go through offensive plays and defensive coverages. Sidelined all season due to right knee injury recovery, Leonard has been ramping up for a return to contact and eventually game action.

“It raised our energy,” Clippers head coach Ty Lue told reporters after Tuesday’s practice. “Just for our guys to see him on the floor brought a juice to our team. We needed that jolt. Especially going through the schedule we've been through.”
