The Los Angeles Clippers still won’t have injured leading scorer Kawhi Leonard in the lineup Sunday when they host the Dallas Mavericks in Game 1 of the team’s first-round playoff series.

Leonard missed Los Angeles’ final eight regular-season games due to inflammation in his right knee.

“He’s progressing,” Clippers coach Tyronn Lue said. “Just taking it day-by-day.”

A three-time First-Team All-NBA selection, Leonard played in 68 games during the regular season – his most since 2016-17 - and averaged 23.7 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.63 steals.

Los Angeles went 51-31 to earn the No. 4 seed in the Western Conference.
