Leonard (knee) is not on the injury report for Sunday’s game against the Hawks, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.
After sitting out Friday’s loss to the Timberwolves for rest, Leonard will be back on the floor Sunday. Since the start of December, he’s averaging 19.4 points, 6.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.0 steals in 30.8 minutes
After sitting out vs. the Minnesota Timberwolves, LA Clippers star Kawhi Leonard is expected to play on Sunday vs. the Atlanta Hawks. Leonard was not listed on the injury report, meaning he should be good to go.
There was a lot of disappointment amongst the fanbase when Leonard sat out against Minnesota because he only played 18 minutes in a blowout loss the night prior. Listed as questionable for Friday night’s game in Denver, Leonard could play there, but he ultimately sat out.
The Clippers have lost five-straight games, which ties the longest losing streak since Leonard and George joined in 2019. The only other five-game losing streak in that period came last season when both stars were sidelined.

The Clippers are genuinely in a bad spot right now. Having played the easiest schedule in basketball for most of the season, the team did not capitalize and now sits at 21-20 with one of the most difficult remaining schedules in the NBA. With other teams in the Western Conference continuing to pass them up, the Clippers have a lot of work to do before they can consider themselves the championship contenders they were made out to be in the offseason.
