Kawhi Leonard's Return to Clippers Delayed Further as Recovery Continues

The star forward will miss at least four more games as he works through five-on-five practices to address lingering knee issues.

Kawhi Leonard participated in a five-on-five practice on Thursday, marking progress in his recovery from a right knee injury but remains unavailable for NBA games.
Leonard will not play in the Clippers' next game against the Golden State Warriors on Friday and will also sit out their upcoming three-game road trip.
Head coach Tyronn Lue stated Leonard needs additional five-on-five reps and emphasized careful monitoring of his knee to prevent future setbacks.
Leonard will practice with the Clippers’ G League team during the road trip to ensure he gets the necessary practice time while the main roster faces a dense game schedule.
There is no definitive timeline for Leonard’s return, though it is expected he will miss at least four to five more games before being cleared to play.
