Kawhi Leonard finally made his long-awaited return to the NBA after being injured since the first round of last year's NBA playoffs. However, even though Leonard's back, he's still not quite in the superstar form he was last season - it's going to take some time.

Kawhi Leonard has stepped away from the Clippers to be with members of his family, who were forced to evacuate their homes with the inferno raging across southern California, according to multiple reports on Wednesday. Leonard will miss a matchup in Denver after flying back to Los Angeles.

Los Angeles Clippers star Kawhi Leonard made his return to action last week, but has continued to err on the side of caution.
