Kawhi Leonard has popped up on the injury report for the Clippers upcoming game against the Brooklyn Nets.
The Los Angeles Clippers will look to bounce back from a loss to the New York Knicks when they face the Brooklyn Nets on Friday.
The Clippers lost 123-111 at Madison Square Garden and have traded wins and losses in their last three games.
The Nets have just one win in their last five games, and are coming off a heartbreaking loss to the Orlando Magic in overtime on Wednesday. It appeared as though the Nets were going to secure their 12th victory of the season after a three-pointer by Egor Demin, but Paolo Banchero banked a three-pointer as time expired to give the Magic the win.
