ANALYSIS: This is great news for the Clippers, who were expecting to be without Leonard for the entire season due to the knee injury he sustained last year in the playoffs. It remains unclear when a possible Leonard return could happen, or what that timeline looks like, but the Clippers have to be feeling good that there's a good chance he returns this year.
