Is Kawhi Leonard playing tonight against Heat? Latest on Clippers superstar's status (Jan. 13)

The LA Clippers are set to return to action on Monday as they host the Miami Heat. The Clippers’ previous game against the Charlotte Hornets was postponed due to the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles. However, the Clippers vs. Heat matchup has been cleared to proceed as scheduled.

Kawhi Leonard is expected to suit up and lead the team against the Heat. The Clippers enter the game with a clean injury report, meaning all players, including Leonard, will be available for the matchup.

The two-time NBA champion missed the Clippers’ 126-103 loss to the Denver Nuggets last Wednesday after traveling back to Los Angeles to be with his family during the wildfire crisis in the Pacific Palisades.

Leonard participated in the team’s practice session on Sunday. Head coach Ty Lue addressed Kawhi Leonard's current emotional state, reflecting on how he’s managing the challenging circumstances in Los Angeles.

"He’s been good," coach Lue told Sportskeeda's Mark Medina. "Tough situation for him and things he had to go through with his family and his house situation. We’re here to support him.

"Not only Kawhi, but everyone in the community that needed the help. We’re going to help and support. We’re really doing our best to be able to do that."
