Injury Report: Kawhi Leonard's Updated Status vs. Denver Nuggets

The LA Clippers announced before Wednesday morning's practice that both Kawhi Leonard and Paul George were traveling with the team on their two-game road trip to Denver and Minnesota. Leonard had missed the previous game with an illness, and George had re-tweaked his hamstring in that same game. The team listed both players as questionable, but Leonard has received an updated status.

Initially called questionable by the Clippers on Wednesday morning, Leonard has been upgraded to available for Thursday night's game vs. the Nuggets. With this being the first game of a back-to-back, Leonard will almost certainly sit on Friday vs. the Timberwolves.

Paul George remains questionable, and likely will not receive a status update until shortly before game time. The Clippers are always going to be cautious with their two stars, but George being on the trip is a good sign that he could be available for at least one of their next two games.

On a three-game losing streak, the Clippers are in desperate need of wins. They have fallen down the Western Conference standings over the last two weeks, and need to regain some ground with a stretch of wins. Getting a big road victory vs. the Nuggets would really help establish some positive momentum as the season's halfway mark approaches.

The Clippers and Nuggets will tip-off at 7:00 PM PST in Denver.
