Kawhi Leonard Cleared to Play, Scores 26 in Clippers Win Over Nets

Kawhi Leonard was cleared to play in Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets despite a right ankle sprain, shaking off his questionable tag. He suited up for the first leg of a back-to-back set and scored 26 points in the Clippers' 121-105 victory, with 19 of those points coming in the second half after a slow start. Leonard has been on an impressive tear recently, averaging 32.7 points, 7.7 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 2.4 steals, and 1.2 blocks across 37.1 minutes per contest over his last 10 games.
