Kawhi Leonard of the Los Angeles Clippers is questionable for Game 1 against the Mavericks due to knee inflammation.

Leonard has been sidelined since March 31 and underwent an injection to address the inflammation earlier this month.

He has been involved in team activities such as film sessions but has not participated in contact drills.

Leonard's current knee issue is not related to past injuries and comes after his healthiest season, playing 68 games with averages of 23.7 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 3.6 assists.

Leonard's contract extension with the Clippers, signed in January, is worth $153 million over three years.

The Clippers' performance without Leonard this season is evenly split with a 7-7 record, including a 4-4 run to close the season.

The Clippers have a slight edge over the Mavericks with a season record of 2-1 as they head into their third playoff meeting in five years.
