The LA Clippers will take on the Denver Nuggets tonight at the Ball Arena. The Nuggets recorded a victory with a marginal difference the other day, taking a 1-0 lead in round 1 of the playoffs. Now, the onus is on the Clippers to come up with a befitting reply. It is a crucial game and this veteran forward Kawhi Leonard will have to step up for his team. Leonard recorded decent figures the other day - 22 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 assists - but in order to stop Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets, he will have to add more. Thus, it will be interesting to note how he will fare tonight. However, he will not be able to contribute anything to the game if he does not play. So, let's take a look at the LA Clippers injury report to know whether Kawhi Leonard will play tonight or not.
