Norman Powell set to return for Clippers

Per the OC Register:

The Clippers left the East Coast on Friday with a 2-2 record in NBA Cup group play and still a slim chance of moving forward. All good news for a team that was missing two of its biggest stars.

Norman Powell sat out all four games, six total, because of a sore left hamstring that he tweaked in a victory against the Golden State Warriors on Nov. 18. He was upgraded to questionable on Friday but stayed on the bench for the Clippers’ 93-92 loss in Cup play to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Powell, however, is expected to play when the Clippers (12-9) come home for a four-game homestand, starting with Sunday’s game against the Denver Nuggets (10-7).

The biggest, and perhaps most anticipated news, was on Kawhi Leonard, who has not played at all this season because of lingering right knee issues. Coach Tyronn Lue offered a positive update on his status.
