Heat lead 9-8 through five minutes in LA
Kawhi Leonard missed his first two shots: a catch-shoot corner 3, and a fade in paint.
Kyle Lowry looks quite aggressive to start this one as well. – 10:48 PM

Seemingly good omens for the Clippers: Kawhi is back, and Terance Mann just hit a three. – 10:42 PM

Ty Lue politely won’t answer if Kawhi Leonard will have any restrictions tonight. So expect a minutes restriction after he missed four straight games. – 8:49 PM

Strong stuff here from @LawMurrayTheNU on the state of the Clippers, the lack of clarity re: Kawhi Leonard’s injury, the PG-Harden ripple effect and more, at @TheAthletic
Harden “continues to keep the team afloat.”
(And Happy New Year everyone!)

Some matchup rankings headed into Heat at LA for New Year Day night
Kawhi Leonard has not played against the Heat in nearly 4 years (Feb. 2020). Maybe he comes back tonight, but expect plenty of James Harden pnr against a Heat team that struggles defending ball screens pic.twitter.com/AnD2GX7E7c – 2:12 PM

More on this storyline
Anthony Chiang: Kyle Lowry is available tonight vs. Clippers, but Caleb Martin and Josh Richardson are out. Heat without some of its top perimeter defenders (Butler, Highsmith, Martin and Richardson) vs. Paul George, James Harden and maybe Kawhi Leonard. -via Twitter @Anthony_Chiang / January 1, 2024
Anthony Chiang: After missing the last four games, Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard is questionable for tonight’s 10:30 p.m. game against the Heat with a left hip contusion. -via Twitter @Anthony_Chiang / January 1, 2024
Clutch Points: Theo Pinson: “Does Kawhi Leonard deserve a statue with the Toronto Raptors?” Justin Jackson: “He spent one year in Toronto.” TP: “yep” JJ: “He won a championship… One year, tenure, in my mind, does not result in a statue.” (via @TidalLeague) pic.twitter.com/UARS7B52mP -via Twitter @ClutchPointsApp / January 1, 2024
