The good news is confirmed for Kawhi Leonard. In recent days, it was said that the return to competition of the Los Angeles Clippers winger was imminent. And this trend could materialize as early as Saturday!
Indeed, according to information from ESPN journalist Shams Charania, the former San Antonio Spurs player is preparing to make his big debut this season against the Atlanta Hawks at the Intuit Dome.
Officially, the Clippers have also listed Leonard in “questionable”. A confirmation of the evolution of his situation with a presence indeed envisaged against the Hawks. Obviously, patience will be required with the 33-year-old veteran.
Having stopped since Team USA’s training camp for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, he was then put in the fridge for knee inflammation. And unsurprisingly, the Californian franchise will adopt extremely cautious management on this issue.
We can think that he will have limited playing time and a ban, at least initially, on playing any back-to-back. Above all, Kawhi Leonard will have to find his place in a collective that functions correctly without him (19-15).
But if he regains his impact, he can allow this team to nurture greater ambitions.
