Since April 2024, Kawhi Leonard had not played a basketball game. Nearly 10 months later, the star of Los Angeles Clippers is back in the NBA.

Last night marked his debut in the 2024/25 season, in the game against the Atlanta Hawks. The Clippers hosted the Georgia franchise and defeated them 105-131.

Kawhi was able to play almost 20 minutes of the game. As a starter, Leonard contributed 12 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 steal for the victory. Moreover, he shot 60% from three-point range, making 3 of the 5 attempts.

With this win, the Clippers now hold a record of 20-15 in the Western Conference. They currently rank 7th, but the 4th-placed Denver Nuggets are just half a game ahead at 20-14.
