The All-Star forward works with the team in offensive and defensive drills that do not include contact on Tuesday with no timetable for return to play.
The Clippers were in the midst of a drill when suddenly, and even surprisingly, Kawhi Leonard joined their practice session Tuesday. “We were doing a shooting drill at the beginning of practice and we go back and forth passing and I’m passing it to Kawhi, I go, ‘Oh, snap! That’s Kawhi!’ Know what I mean?” guard Jordan Miller said. “But again, it just gives us energy. 'Like at this point where we’re at, we can get all the energy we need.
Just having the confidence to keep doing it, not to feel the pain, and just continue to keep getting through it. So, it was good to see him on the floor and it gave us a little juice today just for our guys seeing him on the floor. It really picked up our energy.” Lue said the plan still is not to rush Leonard back and to wait until he’s fully healthy and ready to play. Leonard’s last game was in Game 3 of the Western Conference playoffs against Dallas in April.
