LA Clippers star Kawhi Leonard has been sidelined all season due to right knee injury recovery. Until Tuesday, Leonard had not practiced with the team as he was limited to individual shooting drills. That has now changed as the star forward eyes a return to game action.
Speaking with reporters prior to Tuesday’s practice, Clippers head coach Ty Lue revealed that Leonard went through offensive plays and defensive coverages with the team, but did not take contact. “It raised our energy,” Lue said of Leonard’s return to practice. “Just for our guys to see him on the floor brought a juice to our team. We needed that jolt.”“It raised our energy. Just for our guys to see him on the floor brought a juice to our team.
