Kawhi Leonard tallied 25 points, seven rebounds, and four assists in the Clippers’ loss to the Cavaliers on Wednesday, showcasing his leadership on the offensive end. The pressure remains high for Leonard, especially with the recent trade of James Harden and Darius Garland’s toe injury limiting his immediate impact. As the Clippers navigate these changes, Leonard’s performance will be pivotal in keeping the team competitive, especially with their 2026 first-round pick already traded away.
