Kawhi Leonard Health, Injury Updates & History

Kawhi Leonard, the Los Angeles Clippers’ star player, enters the 2025-26 NBA season in excellent hea...

Listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Pacers due to left foot soreness, Leonard has consistently sat out one leg of the Clippers' back-to-backs this season, so he will likely miss either Sunday's or Monday's contest

Is set to miss Thursday's game for some extra rest before the NBA All-Star weekend, it's the second game of a back-to-back so missing this game was expected

The Clippers have taken a cautious approach to Kawhi’s return from knee inflammation he was experiencing at the beginning of the season, in the four games he’s played since returning he’s averaged a little over 21 minutes per game and is scoring his lowest points per game since his third year in the league, but he’s looked healthy and if the Clippers make a playoff run, at this point, he can still be an effective player but he will always continue to be monitored

Made his season debut from knee inflammation on Jan. 4th, and in his first two games hasn’t been particularly effective, though the Clippers plan to bring Leonard along slowly so expect his minutes to increase, so far he’s averaged 20 mins per contest and has put up 8pts and 12pts in each game, respectively

While having yet to make his season debut, there is good news on the horizon for Leonard, he’s been practicing 5-on-5 with full contact and he will travel with the team on a three game road trip, he won’t play during the three game road trip but he could be eyeing a Dec. 27th return vs Golden State
