All signs point to Kawhi Leonard making his season debut for the Clippers on Saturday night against the Atlanta Hawks at the Intuit Dome.
The Clippers listed Leonard as “questionable” for the game against the Hawks. Leonard has been out because of a right knee injury.
The Clippers are “hopeful” that Leonard will play Saturday, but that the team will “assess him in the morning,” according to a person with knowledge of the situation not authorized to speak publicly.

When Leonard does return, Clippers coach Tyronn Lue said he would be on a minutes restriction, considering he hasn’t played in an NBA game in eight months.
