Paul George and Kawhi Leonard will play and start for the Los Angeles Clippers in Monday’s game against the Charlotte Hornets in a game list on the NBA schedule. Both players missed more than a handful of games but were named earlier in the day by coach Ty Lue among the players active and available for the battle against the Hornets.
Leonard missed the last six games for the Clippers with an ankle injury, but he’s been cleared and will start alongside George, who is returning after missing the last seven games with a hamstring injury. Missing, however, is Norman Powell who remains out for Monday’s matchup with a groin injury, reported by Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com.
