4:00 PM : Tonight, the LA Clippers and Dallas Mavericks are set to clash in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals, with both teams looking robust in terms of player health.
Initially, there was concern about Kawhi Leonard’s availability due to a reported knee issue which has kept him on the sidelines for a while now, but recent updates from Jared Greenberg indicate that Leonard is likely to play tonight.
Leonard, who has been ruled out since March 31st due to right knee inflammation, was initially marked as questionable for Game 1 against the Mavericks and eventually missed it.
However, heading to game 2, sources within the Clippers organization suggests that he will make his playoff debut tonight. Although Leonard participated in practice yesterday and today, it was noted as a non-contact session.
While there are positive indications regarding his potential return, Leonard’s actual presence on the court remains uncertain until game time, given his reputation for unpredictability.
On the other hand, James Harden, Paul George, and Russell Westbrook are confirmed as available for the Clippers against the Mavericks.
As for the Mavericks, there are no injury concerns listed for tonight’s game against the Clippers. Although Tim Hardaway Jr. was questionable in Game 1 due to illness, he is not listed on the injury report this time. Both Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving are expected to be available to play.
With both teams at full strength, this series promises to be a thrilling spectacle for NBA enthusiasts, boasting an unparalleled array of star talent on the court. The tipoff for Game 2 between the LA Clippers and Dallas Mavericks is scheduled for 10:00 p.m. EST tonight.
