During the Clippers’ contest against the Phoenix Suns, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports gave an interesting update about Kawhi Leonard, who has missed the entire season to date rehabbing a surgically-repaired ACL in his right knee:
“League sources have informed me that Kawhi Leonard is actually ahead of schedule in his rehab and that a return this season is a strong possibility. Speaking with multiple Clippers players, they say he won’t be concerned with their playoff slotting believing that if fully healthy, they’ll be favorites over most in the West.”
The fact that Leonard is “ahead of schedule” doesn’t give a firm timeline.
