sizzles with minute restriction Leonard closed with 33 points (9-22 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 8-8 FT), three rebounds, four assists and four steals in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 119-105 win over Washington.

Impact Although Leonard carried an injury tag earlier in the day, he ended up taking the floor and scored a team-high 33 points while on a mild minute restriction. He showed no ill effects from a lingering ankle injury that he's played through successfully, but the Clippers play a back-to-back set that begins Monday. Although the All-Star's routine benchings in those scenarios have tapered off, there's always a chance that he could take a night off.

Questionable for Wednesday Leonard (ankle) is questionable to play Wednesday versus the Wizards, NBA writer Justin Russo reports.

Impact Leonard has powered through the ankle issue the past few games, but with Wednesday's match coming against the 10-28 Wizards, it wouldn't be shocking to see the 34-year-old veteran take the night off. If Leonard does need to skip Wednesday's game, that would open up minutes for Kobe Sanders, Jordan Miller and Nicolas Batum.

Explodes for 35 points in victory Leonard chipped in 35 points (11-19 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 8-9 FT), five rebounds and three assists across 31 minutes during Monday's 117-109 win over Charlotte.

Impact Leonard has been dealing with an ankle issue, and the Clippers remained true to their word and limited his court time to 31 minutes. Despite the usage dip, Leonard produced his highest scoring total since his 45-point tour-de-force against Utah on New Year's Day. The Clippers are free from back-to-back games for the remainder of the week, so barring any re-aggravation of the ankle, Leonard should be good to go Wednesday against the Wizards.
