PLAYA VISTA, Calif. -- Kawhi Leonard participated in a 5-on-5 workout on Friday for the first time since being sidelined with a right knee injury last month.
LA Clippers coach Ty Lue said Leonard will miss his 10th consecutive game on Saturday when the Clippers face the Brooklyn Nets at Crypto..com Arena. Lue said Leonard is getting closer to returning after the encouraging sign of the forward seeing 5-on-5 action but the coach added that the Clippers and Leonard "still have a ways to go."
"He played 5-on 5 with some of our guys, some of the players and some of the coaches," Lue said of the 5-on-5, which was held separately before the team's practice on Friday.
