The LA Clippers<\/a> are planning to have star forward Kawhi Leonard<\/a> return to action in Sunday’s road game against the Cleveland Cavaliers<\/a>, sources told ESPN’s Shams Charania on Saturday.<\/p>\n Leonard is missing his 10th straight game Saturday afternoon as the Clippers play at the Charlotte Hornets<\/a>. He has been out since suffering a sprained right ankle and foot Nov. 3 against the Miami Heat<\/a>.<\/p>\n A source said Leonard must still go through his pregame routine Sunday before he is set to play.<\/p>\n Injuries have repeatedly affected Leonard ever since the two-time NBA Finals MVP joined the Clippers in 2019. He missed the entire 2021-22 season while recovering from a serious right knee injury and missed the first 34 games of last season due to problems with the same knee.<\/p>\n Leonard has played in six games this season, averaging 24.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.5 assists.<\/p>\n Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.<\/p>\n Copyright \u00a9 2025 ESPN Internet Ventures.
