Is Kawhi Leonard Playing Tonight vs Minnesota Timberwolves? Clippers’ Starting Lineup Amidst Losing Slump

The Los Angeles Clippers have had a weird last couple of games. If a Kawhi Leonard team has 120 points or more by the end of regulation, one would think it would be a win for his team given his closing skills. However, the Clips scored a combined 273 points in regular time of their last two games and lost them both.

Both games went to overtime and Leonard played a combined 84 minutes. And so the Clipper Nation must be wondering, will ‘The Klaw’ play tonight against the Minnesota Timberwolves?

This would be a massive boost for Clippers fans who are seeing Kawhi and Paul George both going in and out of lineups, with the former missing team’s 27 outings.

And since both of them are fit, their defensive anchor Zubac was out leaving them struggling on the board. Now that he would be back (probably) with Russell Westbrook also in the line-up Clippers should finally become a team to watch out for.
