On Wednesday evening, the Los Angeles Clippers will take the field for a home game against the Toronto Raptors. Kawhi Leonard is on the injury report, currently listed as questionable due to a left ankle sprain. Here's everything we know about Leonard's injury and his playing status on Wednesday against the Raptors.
Kawhi Leonard's playing situation against the Raptors
There is some doubt at the moment as to whether Kawhi Leonard will be able to compete against his former team on Wednesday, given his questionable designation on the injury report. Leonard played in the Clippers' last game, a home win over the Milwaukee Bucks, and played well for the most part, but he has been on the injury report repeatedly over the past week due to an ankle ailment.
The injury report also includes Jordan Miller, who is questionable due to back pain.
For the Raptors, Brandon Ingram is questionable for this game due to heel inflammation, while Jakob Poeltl is also questionable due to management of a lower back strain injury. Immanuel Quickley is listed as questionable due to a planter.
He has fasciitis in his right foot.
Overall, the Clippers are looking to pick up as many wins as possible to improve their playoff position as the 2025-26 season enters its home leg.
The Clippers are currently in eighth place in the conference, and although it is unlikely they can move further than that, they are only half a game ahead of the ninth-place Portland Trail Blazers. Slipping up in that position would mean winning two play-in games to reach the playoffs, not just one.
In any case, the Clippers and Raptors are scheduled to tip off from the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles on Wednesday at 10:30 pm ET.
