Kawhi Leonard News: 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.
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.
