Los Angeles Clippers star Kawhi Leonard made his return to action last week, but has continued to err on the side of caution.

Kawhi Leonard had one of his best games since returning from a knee injury, scoring 19 points in limited minutes during the Clippers' win over the Lakers.

Russell Westbrook and Paul George have since departed, joining the Denver Nuggets and Philadelphia 76ers, respectively. When Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue announced ahead of this season that small forward Kawhi Leonard would be sidelined for a significant amount of time due to injury management, many fans prepared for the worst.
