ANALYSIS: While the Clippers should be in the playoff picture even while Leonard is sidelined, a regular season return from him would raise their ceiling a great deal.

The Clippers have been somewhat secretive about Leonard's potential return date and injury as a whole, so it is a change of pace to see positive news about it come out.
