Kawhi Leonard nets 6 points in 25 minutes of Clippers return

His first game in more than three weeks, and the LA Clippers beat the Detroit Pistons 96-91 on Thursday night in Los Angeles.

Leonard got the start and was 2 of 8 from the field, with five rebounds and four assists.

In the first three games of the season, coming off the bench in both, Leonard experienced stiffness in his surgically repaired right knee

Coach Tyronn Lue said he did not like the process of bringing Leonard off the bench midway through the second quarter for his first stint of action like the Clippers did in his first two games.

Leonard did not play last season after tearing his right ACL in Game 4 of the Clippers' second-round playoff series against Utah on June 14, 2021.

 Luke Kennard missed the first of at least a couple games with a right calf strain. The guard will be reevaluated within a week.

Kawhi Anthony Leonard is an American professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Clippers of the National Basketball Association.
