Kawhi Leonard

LAC Forward #2

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is available for Sunday’s game against the Magic.

Leonard is good to go after his left ankle tightened up on him late in Friday’s loss to the Lakers. He’ll take on his usual role as the focal point of the Clippers offense. Kris Dunn, Kobe Sanders, Derrick Jones Jr. and Brook Lopez complete the starting five in LA’s final game of Week 17.
Kobe Sanders

LAC Guard #4

Kobe Sanders will replace John Collins (head, neck) in the starting lineup for Sunday’s game against the Magic.

The Clippers won’t have Collins on Sunday, as he was injured during the second quarter of Friday’s loss to the Lakers. He’ll be replaced in the lineup by Sanders, who’s had some good moments as a spot starter this season. Whether he’s worth the risk as a streamer depends on Kawhi Leonard (ankle), who is a game-time decision.
John Collins

LAC Forward-Center #20

John Collins (head, neck) is out for Sunday’s game against the Magic.

Collins was injured during the second quarter of Friday’s loss to the Lakers, when a hard fall led to a laceration over his eye and a sore neck. Bennedict Mathurin moved into the lineup to begin the third quarter, and that could be his role for Sunday’s game as well. Mathurin is already rostered in most leagues, but 10-team league managers need to ensure that he isn’t sitting on the waiver wire.
Kawhi Leonard

LAC Forward #2

Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Magic.

Leonard’s left ankle stiffened up late in Friday’s loss to the Lakers, forcing the Clippers star to the sidelines. If he cannot play against the Magic, Bennedict Mathurin will take on added importance for the team offensively, likely being their featured option.
Brook Lopez

LAC Center #11

Brook Lopez finished with 16 points (7-of-12 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), 10 rebounds, one assist, two steals, three blocks and one three-pointer in the loss to the Lakers on Friday.

Lopez recorded one of his better games of the season on Friday, posting a double-double while making an impact on the defensive end of the floor. The Clippers have been much more dependent on the veteran center since Ivica Zubac departed via trade. And since becoming a full-time starter again, Lopez has put together some good performances, albeit inconsistently. He’ll be on double-double alert again on Sunday against the Magic.
Bennedict Mathurin

LAC Guard-Forward #9

Bennedict Mathurin amassed 26 points (7-of-16 FGs, 11-of-14 FTs), seven rebounds, two assists and one three-pointer in Friday’s loss to the Lakers.

Mathurin followed up his 38-point home debut with another productive outing on Friday. He worked his way to the free-throw line consistently and, when he wasn’t at the stripe, shot relatively well from the floor. Mathurin eventually fouled out of this game during the fourth quarter, which left the Clippers without many scoring options after Kawhi Leonard (ankle) had already exited. If Leonard misses any time, Mathurin will likely function as the Clippers’ primary scorer.
Kawhi Leonard

LAC Forward #2

Kawhi Leonard (ankle) will not return to Friday’s game against the Lakers.

Leonard exited the game midway through the fourth quarter with what’s being described as ankle soreness. He had tallied 31 points in as many minutes before exiting, leading all Clippers players in scoring. Leonard was replaced by Kris Dunn in the lineup after subbing out. If Leonard is forced to miss any time, Bennedict Mathurin immediately becomes the Clippers’ go-to offensive option.
John Collins

LAC Forward-Center #20

John Collins (head) will not return to Friday’s game against the Lakers.

Collins took a hard fall during the second quarter of Friday’s game, hitting the side of his head on the court after being bumped by Lakers center Jaxson Hayes while in mid-air. The Clippers’ forward was helped off the floor immediately and did not return. If Collins enters the concussion protocol, Benedict Mathurin appears to be the most likely replacement in the starting lineup.
Derrick Jones

LAC Forward #5

Derrick Jones Jr. registered 22 points (7-of-15 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), three rebounds, one assist and two three-pointers in Thursday’s win over the Nuggets.

Jones Jr. had maybe his best performance of the season on Thursday. The versatile wing used a combination of free throws and inside-out scoring to reach the 20-point mark for the first time all season, which included some timely makes at the charity stripe down the stretch. He’s remained healthy since the start of February after returning from his second MCL sprain of the season. As he gets further removed from the injury, his opportunities should only increase.
Kawhi Leonard

LAC Forward #2

Kawhi Leonard tallied 23 points (8-of-18 FGs, 6-of-8 FTs), four rebounds, three assists and one three-pointer in the win over the Nuggets on Thursday.

Leonard had a mediocre game by his standards but still extended his streak of 20-point games to a career-best 34. The three-point shot was notably off, preventing him from posting better offensive numbers. But his lower scoring was more so a result of the guys around him stepping up and making contributions, specifically Bennedict Mathurin and his 38 points. Nonetheless, the Clippers will remain very reliant on Leonard moving forward. They’ll play the Lakers on Friday, the second night of a back-to-back.
