NBA fans have taken to social media to react to Leonard's updated status, as Clippers fans are ready to have him back on the court, despite co-star guard Norman Powell being ruled out with left patellar tendinopathy. "Kawhi back. Good sign. Starting to get nervous about Norm," a fan said.

James Harden scored 27 points, Kawhi Leonard added 20 and the Los Angeles Clippers held off the New York Knicks 105-95.

Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in back-to-back games, falling 108-102 Sunday night and 106-102 Friday night. Leonard led the way for the Clippers Sunday, contributing 33 points and ten rebounds, both season-highs for the six-time NBA All-Star.

Late in the fourth quarter, with 25.1 seconds left and the Clippers trailing by four points, James was fouled by Kawhi Leonard while receiving an inbound pass, taking a clear hit to the face and knocking him down. The Clippers went on to challenge the call and it was overturned after the officials ruled it was “marginal contact.”

The Los Angeles Clippers will be severely shorthanded as they attempt to snap a two-game skid on Monday against the Detroit Pistons. Kawhi Leonard, Norman Powell and Ben Simmons will be sidelined for the road matchup on the second night of a back-to-back.

Kawhi Leonard and Normal Powell are both listed on the injury report for the Clippers as they're set to face the Pacers.
