Clippers' Kawhi Leonard's Return Uncertain for Game 5

Injury Concerns Linger for Star Forward

LA Clippers star Kawhi Leonard remains questionable for Game 5 of the NBA Playoffs first round against the Dallas Mavericks due to ongoing injuries.

Despite being listed as questionable for every game so far this postseason, Leonard has managed to play in all four contests, averaging 25.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game.

However, the Mavericks' high-scoring offense has put the Clippers in a difficult position, as they have lost the first three games of the series and now face elimination in Game 5.

If Leonard is unable to play, the Clippers will rely heavily on Paul George and Marcus Morris Sr. to carry the offensive load. The team will also need to improve its defensive efforts, as the Mavericks have averaged 111 points per game in the series.
