The Los Angeles Clippers have returned from their three-game road trip having only won one out of three games. After a disappointing final two games that ended in blowouts against the Spurs and Thunder, the Clippers will face the Atlanta Hawks. Today will be the first time these two teams have met this season, and it comes with inspiring news.

The Clippers have four players listed on their injury report: Kawhi Leonard, Cam Christie, Trentyn Flowers, and P.J. Tucker.

Kawhi Leonard has been upgraded for the first time this season and is currently listed as questionable due to recovery from his right knee injury. However, as it currently stands it would appear that Kawhi will be making his first appearance of the season in today's matchup.
