Clippers' Kawhi Leonard (hip) returns after 4-game absence, scores 24

LOS ANGELES -- Kawhi Leonard posted up Miami's Bam Adebayo early in the fourth quarter before turning, blowing by the Heat defender baseline and throwing down a one-handed reverse slam.

After a four-game absence because of a left hip contusion, Leonard returned and looked healthy, scoring 24 points, six rebounds, five assists and four steals in the LA Clippers' 121-104 win over the shorthanded Heat at Crypto.com Arena.

Leonard, who played 33 minutes in his first game back, also reached 13,000 points for his career against a team that he has made a habit out of beating.
