Kawhi Leonard News: Adds 24 points in return

Leonard (knee) ended with 24 points (9-19 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal across 26 minutes during Thursday's 112-104 win over the Lakers.

Leonard returned Thursday against the Lakers after missing the last three games with a bruised left knee and finished as the Clippers' scoring leader. The veteran forward operated with some restrictions, however, as his 26-minute workload tied his lowest of the season. Assuming he avoided any setbacks with the knee coming out of Thursday's contest, Leonard should see at least a slight uptick in playing time in the Clippers' next game Sunday versus the Nets.
