Kawhi Leonard Injury Report: Will the Clippers' Star Forward Play Tonight Against the Nuggets?

The LA Clippers will take on the Denver Nuggets tonight in Game 6 of the Round 1 Playoff. The Nuggets are leading the series 3-2 hence it is a game of survival for the Clippers. Should the Nuggets secure the victory at the Intuit Dome tonight, then it will be all over the second Los Angeles side as well. As the Clippers are in a precarious situation, they would require their veteran forward Kawhi Leonard to show up and rescue the side, which is standing on the verge of elimination. Leonard has been chipping in with 20-plus scores, but tonight he would have to breach the 30-point mark. If he goes on to deliver such a performance, then the Clippers can force a game 7 in the series. However, he will not be able to have any say in the game in case he is struck with any kind of injury. So, let's take note of the LA Clippers injury report to know whether Kawhi Leonard will play tonight or not.
