Dazzles with 27 points in blowout
Leonard closed with 27 points (11-21 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 33 minutes during Friday's 129-102 victory over the Suns.
Analysis
Leonard and James Harden dominated the scoreboard in a decisive wiping of the Suns. Leonard recorded numbers in every major statistical category and looked like his old self with no signs of injury. Next Monday and Tuesday will be intriguing, as we'll see what the Clippers will do with Leonard in their first back-to back game. A decision to keep him on the floor will be a great first sign of a supreme season for the All-Star.

Struggles in season opener
Leonard closed Wednesday's 129-108 loss to the Jazz with 10 points (3-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 29 minutes.
Analysis
Leonard struggled from the field in the Clippers' opener, managing only 10 points in 29 minutes. All but two of those points came in the third quarter. Like other starters, Leonard did not play in the fourth as the team trailed by 28 after three. He'll look to return to form Friday when his team hosts the Suns.

Quiet in season-opening loss
Leonard generated 10 points (3-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block over 29 minutes in Wednesday's 129-108 loss to Utah.
Analysis
Leonard's performance was a far cry from what we've come to expect from the now-34-year-old. He attempted the fifth-most shots of any Clippers player and failed to make a significant impact elsewhere, resulting in a team-worst negative-25 plus-minus. While it's just one game, Leonard's age may be catching up to him. His points per game have declined every regular season since 2019-2020, and he logged his fewest rebounds and assists per game in 2024-25 since 2017-18, when he played merely nine regular-season games.

Off injury report for Opening Night
Leonard (rest) isn't listed on the Clippers' injury report for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.
Analysis
Leonard will return to action after missing Friday's preseason win over the Warriors. The star forward appeared in just 37 regular-season games in 2024-25, during which he averaged 21.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.6 steals in 31.9 minutes per contest.
