Kawhi Leonard's Updated Injury Status vs. Grizzlies Revealed

In this story:
For the fourth-straight game, the LA Clippers listed Kawhi Leonard as questionable with a left hip contusion, and just like he was the last three games, Leonard has been ruled out for this game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The Clippers are hosting the Grizzlies on Friday night, and Leonard will again be out, having missed the last four games due to this hip injury.
When asked about Leonard before Thursday's practice, head coach Ty Lue said he would practice a little bit. Lue said on Friday that Leonard did not actually practice, but did workout after practice.
The Clippers have continued to call Leonard's injury a day-to-day thing, and have listed him as questionable each game since the injury occurred on December 20th in Dallas. As was the case for each of the three games Leonard has missed, Lue revealed his final status to the media around 5:45 PM PST during his pregame press conference.
Prior to this injury absence, Leonard had played in all 27 of LA's games. There is no way to be certain when he will make a return, since the extent of the team's updates have been Lue's comments, but for now the official word remains "day-to-day" for the Clippers' star.
With Ja Morant being listed as available for the Grizzlies after a one game illness absence, this will be a tough one for the Clippers without Leonard.
