'Hopefully Kawhi is available for every game but if he’s not, we’ll be ready,' said Lawrence Frank, Clippers president of basketball operations.

The Los Angeles Clippers gave an update about Kawhi Leonard’s status ahead of Game 1 in the first-round playoff series against the Dallas Mavericks, officially listing him as "questionable." The series kicks off Sunday at the Crypto.com Arena in downtown LA. With Leonard’s injury status remaining up in the air, Lawrence Frank, the Clippers ’ president of basketball operations, said he wants "to be as transparent as possible.

" When asked about a potential timetable for his return, Frank could not provide a definite answer but said they remain optimistic. "The one thing I share with you is that inflammation is unpredictable. So, we’d love to have a crystal ball…but you just control what you can control. Hopefully, the inflammation reduces in a short amount of time and he’s back on the court. That’s the goal.
