Will Kawhi Leonard play on a back-to-back for the first-time since March 2024?

On Friday night, the Los Angeles Clippers took the injury-ridden Dallas Mavericks to school en-route to a 114-91 victory.

Clippers star forward Kawhi Leonard played just 24 minutes in the lopsided win but was effective, scoring 20 points to go along with six rebounds and a pair of assists.

While struggling with injuries over the past couple of seasons, Leonard has been available on a regular basis over the past few months, which has helped the Clippers' pursuit of reaching the Western Conference's sixth-seed, which would have the team avoid the play-in.

The Clippers have a quick turnaround as they'll host the Mavericks for a second-straight at the Intuit Dome. When asked about his status for Saturday night's contest, Leonard told reporters 'We'll see' regarding his availability for the second leg of the Clippers' back-to-back set against the Mavericks.

Leonard's comments were reflective in his official status as of Saturday afternoon as the club listed the six-time All-Star as questionable for Saturday night's contest.

Hi, Hello

Kawhi Leonard is QUESTIONABLE against the Dallas Mavericks back-to-back tonight. Everyone else is available and Amir Coffey is out.

Have a nice day!

The Clippers and Mavericks tip-off at 10:30 p.m. EST on Saturday night.
