Kawhi Leonard's Status for LA Clippers vs. Atlanta Hawks
The LA Clippers are back home from a two-game road trip, and are set to face the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday evening. Both teams have released their injury reports for this game, and star forward Kawhi Leonard is not listed, meaning he is available to play.
Leonard has been durable for the Clippers this season, having missed just six games all year. Dealing with thoracic spasms during a game against the Minnesota Timberwolves last week, Leonard was forced to leave that game early, but has since played consecutive games with no issues.
While health has been the story for this Clippers team since Leonard and Paul George joined in 2019, it has been much less of a story this season. Leonard has already reached 60 games played, and George has also played 60. While James Harden has missed the last two games with a left shoulder strain, he had played 59-straight prior to finally missing a game, and is being listed as questionable for this game against the Hawks.
Scuffling a bit since the All-Star break, the Clippers are entering a stretch of games where their schedule gets a lot easier. Needing to take advantage of this in order to optimize their positioning in the Western Conference standings, Clippers will look to begin turning things around with a win on Sunday over a shorthanded Hawks team.
