Is Kawhi Leonard getting set to make his exit from the Clippers?
The Los Angeles Clippers picked up their first win of the Western Conference Finals as knocked off the Phoenix Suns at the Staples Center in Game 3. Once again, Kawhi Leonard was out due to injury.
FS1’s Skip Bayless says Leonard has an issue with the Clippers and how they have handled his knee injury.
“I have been told by a very good source that the first issue became Kawhi was unhappy with the Clippers medical staff because he felt they early on misdiagnosed and underplayed the extent of this knee injury. What does that smack of? San Antonio all over again,” Bayless said on today’s edition of Undisputed.
“Kawhi Leonard is his own man, we know this. Once he gets a little sideways with medical staff, he’s going to pull away. He’s going to go to this doctor and that physical therapist, away from the team. Why is it that the team keeps saying ‘We’re not sure’ from game-to-game? They won’t rule him out. I think they’re just not communicating at all with him so they’re not sure what’s going on with him.
Bayless, citing his sources, says Kawhi is done for the playoffs.
“He’s gone. He’s going to need some type of surgery. I’m not sure what the extent of it is, but he’s out for the rest of the playoffs. But they don’t ever say he’s out because I think they’re not talking.”
