Leonard (shoulder) will play Saturday against the Lakers, Erik Gundersen of The Columbian reports.

Analysis:

Leonard has missed the last seven games with a dislocated left shoulder, but it appears he'll make his return to action Friday, roughly two-and-a-half weeks after the initial injury. It's unclear if Leonard will return to the starting lineup right away, but if that's the case, either Al-Farouq Aminu or Noah Vonleh will shift to the bench.
