Kawhi Leonard's Status vs. Dallas Mavericks Revealed

In their third game of the James Harden era, the LA Clippers will have their full starting lineup available once again. The Clippers have released their injury report for this game vs. Dallas, and Kawhi Leonard is not listed, meaning he is available to play.

Leonard has played in every game for the Clippers so far this season, which is something he spoke about prior to the year beginning, since he is finally fully recovered from his ACL injury. Leonard has even played in both games of LA's only back to back set so far this season, which is a big milestone for him after not playing many back to backs in his Clippers tenure.

Both Leonard and his co-star Paul George plan to play in every game they are healthy for the season, which will go a long way towards the Clippers obtaining the highest possible seed they can get. The addition of James Harden is something that Clippers hope will not only help them optimize their regular season performance, but also help them go deeper in the playoffs than they ever have.

Each game is an opportunity for the Clippers to build continuity with this new group, and this game against the Mavericks is one they certainly hope to win. Every game is important, as the Western Conference standings are often very tight, which is something to Clippers have learned the last several seasons. Looking to get back in the win column on Friday night against Dallas, the Clippers will have their top talent available.
