LA Clippers head coach Ty Lue spoke on star forward Kawhi Leonard
LA Clippers star Kawhi Leonard appeared in 68 games last season, his most since his 2016-17 campaign with the San Antonio Spurs. While this was a huge development for the Clippers, it ended the same way each of previous three postseasons did, with Leonard sidelined due to injury.
Sidelined for the final eight regular season games due to right knee inflammation, Leonard was available for just two playoff games in LA’s opening round loss to the Dallas Mavericks, and was very limited in both. The Clippers have not officially revealed whether or not they will be more conservative with Leonard’s work load next season, but it is reasonable to assume they could make some changes from last season’s approach.
Apr 12, 2024; Los Angeles, California, USA; Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George and forward Kawhi Leonard and guard James Harden watch the game from the bench during the third quarter against the Utah Jazz at Crypto.com Arena. / Kiyoshi Mio-USA TODAY Sports One thing that does seem clear right now, is that Leonard will be available when the Clippers begin training camp in Hawaii on October 1st., Clippers head coach Ty Lue said of Leonard, “I speak to him all the time. He'll be ready for training camp. He's feeling good and I know he'll be ready for training camp."This is consistent with what Clippers president Lawrence Frank told reporters in Las Vegas earlier this summer.
