NBC SportsKawhi Leonard (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Nuggets.

Initially questionable for Friday's game, Leonard is officially good to go. His availability means that Kobe Sanders will remain with the reserves, eliminating most of the rookie's streaming value.

NBC SportsKris Dunn (ankle) is questionable to play against the Jazz on Tuesday.

Dunn left Sunday's win over the Nets in the first half with an ankle injury and did not return after halftime. As a result, his status for Tuesday's game against his former team is still unknown. Dunn has been a staple in the Clippers' starting backcourt during his tenure in L.A., but if he can't go against the Jazz, Kobe Sanders is a candidate to fill in as a starter.

NBC SportsKris Dunn (ankle) finished Sunday's win over the Nets with two points (1-of-3 FGs), three rebounds and one steal.

Dunn sprained his ankle late in the second quarter of Sunday's blowout victory, heading back to the locker room to receive treatment. While he remained in uniform and was not declared done for the night, the Clippers' guard did not play during the second half. Given the nature of the game, there was no need to risk putting Dunn back in. Kobe Sanders started the third quarter, finishing with nine points, three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 30 minutes.

NBC SportsKawhi Leonard (illness, knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nets.

In addition to the left knee contusion that sidelined him for three games before his return on Thursday, Leonard is under the weather going into the Clippers' final game of Week 14. If he's unable to play, rookie Kobe Sanders should return to the starting lineup. He would be worth streaming if allowed to start.

NBC SportsKawhi Leonard (knee) amassed 24 points (9-of-19 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), five rebounds, four assists, one steal and three three-pointers in Thursday's win over the Lakers.

Back in action after a three-game absence, Leonard was limited to 25 minutes on Thursday. He made the most of his time on the floor, averaging nearly one point per minute and finishing a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. With the Clippers not having a back-to-back until the end of Week 15, hopefully that means Leonard will be able to get into a rhythm and not worry about taking an injury management night. Kobe Sanders came off the bench on Thursday, finishing with 11 points (4-of-6 FGs), four rebounds, one assist, one steal and three three-pointers in 24 minutes.
