LA Clippers star Kawhi Leonard made his NBA season debut against the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday night, tallying 12 points in 19 minutes. Out all season with right knee injury recovery, Leonard had some strong moments in his first game back.

Kawhi Leonard is expected to make his season debut for the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday when they host the Atlanta Hawks, according to NBA Insider Chris Haynes. The team upgraded him to questionable on Friday night.
