The Clippers are unsure if Kawhi Leonard will be able to play more than the roughly 35 minutes he played in the team's Game 2 loss to the Dallas Mavericks.
Kawhi Leonard slowly walked onto the American Airlines Center court past the media and over towards where Paul George was talking to Clippers coach Tyronn Lue. Leonard tapped Lue on the hand and kept walking until he disappeared out of sight. A few minutes later, Leonard reappeared, sitting in a chair to put on his sneakers to get ready for practice. It was not going to be a contact practice, but it was another step towards helping Leonard get his game back in gear.
“Timing of when he’s getting there. How he’s getting there. I think understanding the rhythm of the offense and getting that flow back. I don’t think it necessarily means more shots. I just think it means like your timing, when he’s getting to his spots, how he’s getting to his spots and things like that.” Leonard saw some progress in the second half, especially in the third quarter when he was four for seven from the field for eight points.
