LAC vs TOR Dream11: Kawhi Leonard returned to Los Angeles Clippers starting five against Denver Nuggets for the first time in five games. It was the only positive for the Clippers in the 104-110 defeat. Leonard showed signs of rustiness and was far from his ruthless best as he clocked 16 points, 5 boards and 6 assists.
But the Clippers are through to the Western Conference playoffs. So they can ease on Leonard for the time being. However, the 2nd spot in the West is still achievable. It will be interesting to see how Tyronn Lue manages Leonard’s minutes leading up to the playoffs.
