Kawhi Leonard Questionable as Clippers Host Raptors

The Los Angeles Clippers will host the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday evening, with Kawhi Leonard listed as questionable due to injury. This matchup comes on the heels of a dominant 129-96 victory for the Clippers over the Milwaukee Bucks, where Leonard showcased his prowess with 28 points, five rebounds, three assists, three steals, and one block in 25 minutes of play.

Leonard’s Performance and Current Status

Leonard is averaging 28.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 2.0 steals per contest, shooting 50.4% from the field and 38.5% from three-point range in 56 games this season. Despite his impressive performance, his availability for Wednesday’s game remains uncertain.

According to Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints, “Kawhi Leonard is QUESTIONABLE to play tomorrow for the Clippers. Jordan Miller is too QUESTIONABLE with back soreness. Bennedict Mathurin and John Collins are no longer on the injury report and cleared to play against the Raptors.”

Clippers’ Current Standing

The Clippers currently hold an eighth seed in the Western Conference with a record of 36-36 as of March 25, 2026. They have won six of their last ten games and boast a 20-15 record at home at the Intuit Dome.

Raptors’ Perspective

The Raptors are finishing a five-game Western trip, seeking to avoid the play-in tournament. The team will need to strategize effectively against Leonard, a former Raptor who led them to an NBA championship in 2019.

Recent Clippers Transactions

The Clippers have undergone roster changes in recent years, parting ways with players such as Paul George, James Harden, Russell Westbrook, and Ivica Zubac.

Looking Ahead

Following the game against the Raptors, the Clippers will travel to face the Indiana Pacers on Friday night. The team’s performance in these upcoming games will be crucial as they aim to secure a better position in the Western Conference playoff picture.
