Kawhi Leonard, Ivica Zubac injury status vs. Raptors

Given that both Kawhi Leonard and Ivica Zubac are listed as questionable for the Clippers’ matchup against the Raptors, it isn’t easy to gauge which, if either, will be playing. Leonard has been playing at a playoff level, according to Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue, but Leonard could sit out at least for one game.

Leonard’s coming off of back-to-back 33+ point performances, including scoring 35 in a 117-109 win against the Charlotte Hornets. He also scored a season-high 45 points in a 118-101 blowout win against the Utah Jazz on January 1. Zubac is averaging a double-double (14.8 points, 10.7 rebounds) this season.

Leonard and Zubac have helped the Clippers turn their season around, as they have won 11 of their last 13 outings amid a four-game winning streak. Los Angeles is 17-23, which is tied with the Memphis Grizzlies for the 10th-best record in the Western Conference.

Still, when it comes to whether Kawhi Leonard and Ivica Zubac are playing tonight vs. the Raptors, the answer is maybe.
