In a highly anticipated matchup between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Los Angeles Lakers, the big question is whether Kawhi Leonard will play. With the NBA cracking down on teams resting stars in one leg of back-to-back games, Leonard's status for Wednesday night's game is uncertain. Leonard has not played in the second game of a back-to-back in recent years and has had a strict rest schedule due to injuries. However, the new rules state that no more than one star player can be unavailable for the same game if healthy. The Clippers could potentially rest Leonard but play Paul George to comply with the rules.

While James Harden won't be making his debut for the Clippers until next Monday, Leonard's presence in Wednesday's game is still up in the air. The Lakers, on the other hand, will be looking to end their 11-game losing streak against the Clippers. Led by LeBron James with 35 points and 11 rebounds, the Lakers secured a 130-125 overtime victory, snapping their losing streak against their rival.

Stay tuned to see if Kawhi Leonard takes the court in this highly anticipated matchup between the Clippers and the Lakers.
