No more minutes restriction for Kawhi Leonard?
Andrew Greif: Ty Lue wouldn’t say definitively that Kawhi no longer has a minutes restriction but he acknowledged after Kawhi played 33, 34 and 36 min. in his last three games that he’s basically playing the equivalent of a normal game right now. That’s allowed Lue to stagger him and PG more.

Neither he nor PG played in the first meeting, a 14-point Clippers win after Thanksgiving. pic.twitter.com/DBrow7atYR – 1:41 PM

Clippers stars Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are NOT on the injury report, so they should be good to go in Indy on NYE. – 8:50 PM

More on this storyline
Josh Lewenberg: Powell: “Kawhi is Kawhi, no matter what.” He did say that Leonard has been a bit more interactive with his teammates, joking around and whatnot, with the Clippers than he was in Toronto, where he was “all business” -via Twitter @JLew1050 / December 28, 2022
Law Murray: Clippers are resting Kawhi Leonard for Monday night at Detroit. Front end of back to back, so he should be all set for return to Toronto with Norm Tuesday. John Wall is set to play Monday night in Detroit, a return from ankle sprain. TBD if Wall will remain on b2b restriction. -via Twitter @LawMurrayTheNU / December 25, 2022
