Kawhi Leonard Records 25 Points in Return to Action

After being cleared from an ankle injury, Kawhi Leonard returned to the court Wednesday, producing 25 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, and 2 steals across 29 minutes. Despite his efficient performance, shooting 9-of-12 from the field and 4-of-6 from three-point range, the Clippers fell 124-109 to the Pelicans. Leonard's availability marks a key recovery milestone for the forward as he reintegrates into the Clippers' rotation.
