Coach Tyronn Lue said Leonard (knee) will be ready for training camp in October, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports. "I speak to [Leonard] all the time," Lue told ESPN last week. "He'll be ready for training camp. He's feeling good, and I know he'll be ready for training camp." Leonard's injury-plagued past is no secret, and it popped up at the worst time last season. After appearing in 68 regular-season games -- his most since 2016-17 with the Spurs -- Leonard missed 12 of the Clippers' last 14 contests, including three postseason games. He was on track to play for Team USA at the Paris Olympics this summer, but the chronic knee injury sidelined him again. Lue coached for Team USA and appears well-informed on Leonard's situation, plus the six-time All-Star has proven capable of returning to form following devasting injuries. However, there are still major question marks from a fantasy perspective.

Kawhi Leonard Latest News
Will be ready for camp per Lue
Coach Tyronn Lue said Leonard (knee) will be ready for training camp in October, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports. "I speak to [Leonard] all the time," Lue told ESPN last week. "He'll be ready for training camp. He's feeling good, and I know he'll be ready for training camp." Leonard's injury-plagued past is no secret, and it popped up at the worst time last season. After appearing in 68 regular-season games -- his most since 2016-17 with the Spurs -- Leonard missed 12 of the Clippers' last 14 contests, including three postseason games. He was on track to play for Team USA at the Paris Olympics this summer, but the chronic knee injury sidelined him again. Lue coached for Team USA and appears well-informed on Leonard's situation, plus the six-time All-Star has proven capable of returning to form following devasting injuries. However, there are still major question marks from a fantasy perspective.
Expected to be ready for camp
Clippers President Lawrence Frank said Leonard (knee) is expected to be ready for training camp, Law Murray of The Athletic reports. Frank said he didn't want to go into specifics as to whether or not Leonard had any offseason procedures on his troublesome knee, but he expressed disappointment that Team USA withdrew him from the roster. Lawrence made it clear that it was Team USA that made the decision, and that he thought Leonard looked "great" in their practices. Regardless, Leonard's health will be a hot topic for fantasy managers heading into the 2024-25 campaign.
Withdraws from Olympics
USA Basketball announced Wednesday that Leonard (knee) has withdrawn from the 2024 Paris Olympics, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. The rationale for Leonard's decision is somewhat unclear, but the superstar wing has dealt with a number of injuries in recent years, including inflammation in his surgically repaired right knee, which kept him out for much of the Clippers' first-round playoff loss to the Mavericks. Rather than competing in Paris, Leonard will spend the rest of the summer preparing for the 2024-25 NBA season. USA Basketball has yet to formally announce a replacement for Leonard on the roster, though Charania relays that Boston guard Derrick White could be a leading candidate.
Ruled out for Game 6
Leonard (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's Game 6 against Dallas, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports. Leonard continues to deal with a knee injury and will be unavailable for a third consecutive game Friday. If the Clippers win Friday's contest and force a Game 7, it's unclear whether Leonard would be available for that win-or-go-home matchup.
Confirmed out for Game 5
Coach Tyronn Lue said Tuesday that Leonard (knee) will not play in Game 5 versus the Mavericks on Wednesday, NBA writer Marc Stein reports. Lue made this announcement shortly after saying Leonard wouldn't be doing anything at all during Tuesday's practice. Leonard clearly didn't have much mobility in Games 2 and 3, and it's unclear when he'll be able to return. Based on previous reports, the Clippers will need to see Leonard's knee inflammation improve before giving him the green light.
Won't practice Tuesday
Coach Tyronn Lue said Leonard (knee) will not do anything at practice Tuesday, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports. After sitting out Game 1 due to inflammation in his right knee, Leonard played in Games 2 and 3, but he looked like a shell of himself with limited mobility. Leonard was held out of Game 4 on Sunday, and it would be a big surprise if he could play Wednesday based on how the forward is trending. If Leonard is indeed held out, Amir Coffey would be a candidate to see an increased role.
Out indefinitely
Leonard (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's Game 4 against the Mavericks and will be sidelined indefinitely, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports. Due to inflammation in his surgically repaired right knee, Leonard missed the Clippers' Game 1 win, which allowed Amir Coffey to draw a start. The superstar returned for Game 2 and posted 15 points (7-17 FG), seven rebounds and four steals in 35 minutes during the loss. He played only 25 minutes during Los Angeles Game 3 loss and finished with nine points (4-7 FG) and nine rebounds. Clippers president Lawrence Frank said shutting Leonard down was a move the organization made to ensure Leonard's future health, per Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News.
Will be questionable for Game 4
Leonard (knee) will be questionable for Sunday's Game 4 against the Mavericks, head coach Tyronn Lue told Joey Linn of SI.com. Leonard logged 25 minutes in Friday's Game 3 loss, finishing with nine points (4-7 FG, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds and two assists, but he didn't look as fluid in his movements as he did in Game 2, when he was able to play 35 minutes while registering 15 points, seven rebounds and four steals. His official status will be determined closer to Sunday's 3.30 p.m. ET tipoff, but if he's ruled out, Terance Mann and Amir Coffey would be in line to pick up extra minutes.
Good to go for Game 3
Leonard (knee) is available for Friday's Game 3 against the Mavericks, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports. After missing Sunday's Game 1 win due to knee inflammation, Leonard returned for Game 2 on Tuesday and put up 15 points, seven rebounds, four steals, two assists and a block in 35 minutes during a 96-93 loss, marking his first appearance since March 31. With the series tied at 1-1, Leonard's health and impact will be key to the Clippers' success. Despite suiting up for back-to-back games, the questionable tag may stick with Leonard for the rest of the postseason.
