Paul George, Kawhi Leonard return to practice
For the Clippers, Friday produced the rarest of scenes: The team held a practice with Kawhi Leonard and Paul George taking part. George, who has not played since injuring a hamstring tendon Nov. 19, and Leonard, out since spraining an ankle Nov. 21, were expected to be full participants in the workout — one of the only practices the team has held since October — coach Tyronn Lue said, a development that puts the pair of All-Stars on the verge of returning for Saturday’s key test against Sacramento should they respond well to after the workout.

So good news: looks like Kawhi Leonard and Paul George could play their 5th game of the season tomorrow.
Still waiting news: Clippers won’t be fully whole until, at earliest, some time on this upcoming road trip.
Date to circle on calendar: Home December 12 vs Boston Celtics. – 2:16 PM

So today Luke Kennard, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George will go through practice, per Ty Lue.
Norman Powell (groin) won’t practice. Despite that fall in Portland, Reggie Jackson left the road trip fine to play. – 2:06 PM
