Kawhi Leonard Injury Update: Is He Playing vs. Raptors?

According to NBA injury report, Leonard (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday night against his former team.

He’s played in 12 of 14 games in March, participating in the Clippers’ last two contests. Kawhi left March 14’s matchup vs. the Kings with the injury. After appearing in March 18’s matchup, he sat out on March 19, followed by two appearances on March 21 and 23.

Leonard’s enjoyed an excellent season with 28.3 PPG, on pace for a career-high. If Los Angeles’ leading scorer is out, plenty of shots should be available considering his 34.4% usage rate, per FantasyLabs.
