NBA fans have taken to social media to react to Leonard's updated status, as Clippers fans are ready to have him back on the court, despite co-star guard Norman Powell being ruled out with left patellar tendinopathy. "Kawhi back. Good sign. Starting to get nervous about Norm," a fan said.

The Los Angeles Clippers will be severely shorthanded as they attempt to snap a two-game skid on Monday against the Detroit Pistons. Kawhi Leonard, Norman Powell and Ben Simmons will be sidelined for the road matchup on the second night of a back-to-back.
