Coach Tyronn Lue said Wednesday that Leonard (knee) is progressing but hasn't been cleared for 5-on-5 drills yet, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports. Leonard missed the final eight regular-season games due to right knee inflammation but returned to practice Monday, albeit in a limited fashion. His official status for Sunday's Game 1 against the Mavericks won't be known until Saturday afternoon, but Lue said he's preparing as if Leonard will be available to start the postseason.

Latest Clippers News
Kawhi Leonard : Not cleared for 5-on-5
Coach Tyronn Lue said Wednesday that Leonard (knee) is progressing but hasn't been cleared for 5-on-5 drills yet, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports. Leonard missed the final eight regular-season games due to right knee inflammation but returned to practice Monday, albeit in a limited fashion. His official status for Sunday's Game 1 against the Mavericks won't be known until Saturday afternoon, but Lue said he's preparing as if Leonard will be available to start the postseason.
James Harden : Recovered from injury
Coach Tyronn Lue said Tuesday that Harden (foot) is "good to go", Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports. Harden missed the Clippers' regular-season finale with a right foot inflammation but should be available for Sunday's Game 1 against the Mavericks. The star guard will likely reclaim his starting spot from Xavier Moon.
Kawhi Leonard : Limited in practice
Coach Tyronn Lue said that Leonard (knee) will be a partial participant in Tuesday's practice, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports. Leonard missed the final eight games of the regular season due to right knee inflammation. While the star forward's status for Sunday's Game 1 against the Mavericks is unclear, it appears that Leonard is gearing up toward a return.
Brandon Boston : Notches 15 points
Boston chipped in 15 points (5-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and four steals across 31 minutes during Sunday's 116-105 loss to the Rockets. Boston didn't have the most efficient night, but he filled the stat sheet and recorded a career-high four steals. Boston saw extended minutes Sunday with most of the key players for Los Angeles resting, but he could potentially have a role in the playoffs if Kawhi Leonard (knee) can't shake his knee issue.
Kobe Brown : Posts solid line in loss
Brown totaled nine points (4-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), six rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals over 38 minutes during Sunday's 116-105 loss to Houston. Brown has had a sporadic role for the Clippers all season but saw extended run Sunday with most of the key players getting the day off for rest. Brown will finish the regular season with averages of 2.0 points and 1.4 rebounds in 9.0 minutes across 44 appearances.
Xavier Moon : Gets huge minutes in loss
Moon supplied 14 points (6-22 FG, 2-9 3Pt), six rebounds, six assists, two steals and one block across 46 minutes during Sunday's 116-105 loss to the Rockets. The Clippers rested their key players for Sunday, as their position in the standings was locked in a few days ago. Moon has rarely seen the floor for the Clippers, as he was making just his 14th appearance of the season. Since he's one of the Clippers' three two-way players, Moon won't be eligible to play in any postseason games.
Bones Hyland : Out Sunday
Hyland (not injury related) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rockets, Justin Russo of the 'Clip & Roll' podcast reports. Hyland has totaled 57 points, 15 assists and six steals over his last two appearances, including one start, and he was in line for another elevated role Sunday, as most of the Clippers' regulars are resting. However, the youngster has been ruled out an hour before tipoff after not being listed on any of the previous injury reports. It's unclear if he'll have a regular rotational role during the postseason.
Mason Plumlee : Starting Sunday
Plumlee is slated to start at center in Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Rockets, Justin Russo of the 'Clip & Roll' podcast reports. The Clippers are resting several starters ahead of the playoffs tipping off next weekend. As a result, Plumlee will move into the starting lineup and figures to see a heavier workload than usual. The veteran big man has averaged 8.3 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.8 assists across 23.2 minutes in 10 starts this season.
