Kawhi Leonard Still Not Cleared For Back-To-Backs Yet
3 mins agoLos Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (rest) still hasn't been cleared for playing in back-to-backs yet. Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue reiterated this point to the media prior to Tuesday's loss to the Phoenix Suns. With that, don't expect Leonard to play in tonight's game against the Detroit Pistons. The plans for the 33-year-old are clearly to keep him healthy for the playoffs. Los Angeles is currently in the ninth seed in the West and holds a 3.5 game lead over the Suns in the 11th seed. With Leonard expected to sit, look for Derrick Jones Jr. to get the start if he's active as he's dealing with a groin issue. If neither are active, look for Amir Coffey or Nicolas Batum to play extended minutes.
