Kawhi Leonard (knee) could return Game 1 for Clippers
Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) is uncertain for Game 1 of the first round against the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday.
What It Means:
Leonard was sidelined for the last eight games of the regular season with a knee injury. According to Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium, there is "cautious optimism" that Leonard will be able to return for Game 1 on Sunday. Amir Coffey, Terance Mann, and Russell Westbrook will have fewer opportunities if Leonard is active.
numberFire's models project Kawhi for 34.9 minutes and 39.2 FanDuel points in Game 1 on Sunday.
