Leonard has played just five games this season, as star guards James Harden and Norman Powell have had to carry the offense on their backs. Both Harden and Powell are having All-Star-caliber seasons and have played huge roles in LA's success.

The Los Angeles Clippers rule Kawhi Leonard out, with James Harden's injury status uncertain ahead of their matchup vs. the Boston Celtics.

The Clippers might not have some of their best players for this game, including James Harden. Harden is listed questionable with right groin soreness. The Clippers have quite a few players who could miss this game due to soreness. If they do, the Celtics absolutely have to win this game. They have to take advantage when other teams are injured.

The Los Angeles Clippers will be taking on their rivals, the Los Angeles Lakers, and they may be without a few of their key players.
