Kawhi Leonard Injury Clouds Clippers vs Spurs Matchup
The LA Clippers are set to face the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday, but the spotlight has shifted due to the latest Kawhi Leonard injury update. Leonard is listed as questionable for the Clippers vs Spurs game, as the team continues to manage his right knee injury carefully.
Clippers Eye Playoff Push While Managing Kawhi Leonard’s Minutes
Riding a four-game win streak and having won 14 of their last 17 games, the Clippers are surging ahead in the Western Conference. Kawhi Leonard, fresh off his Western Conference Player of the Week award, has played a critical role in their success. However, the team may choose to rest him against the struggling Spurs, who are already eliminated from playoff contention with a 32-46 record.
The upcoming back-to-back schedule, with a more challenging game against the Houston Rockets on Wednesday, is another reason why Kawhi Leonard might sit out against the Spurs.
Load Management Continues to Define Kawhi’s Season
Leonard has already missed 44 games this season due to injury and load management. The Clippers are focused on having him fully healthy for the postseason, making strategic rest days essential.
“Kawhi Leonard is questionable tomorrow against San Antonio. It’s the front end of a B2B. LA plays Houston on Wednesday.”
