Kawhi Leonard’s Injury Status Ahead of the New NBA Season
Leonard’s time with the Clippers has been plagued by injuries. The two-time NBA champion sustained a knee injury at the end of Game 4 in the Western Conference Semifinals against the Utah Jazz in the 2020-21 season. He underwent surgery to repair a partial tear of the ACL in his right knee, causing him to miss the following season. Furthermore, his knee injury also prevented him from playing in the 2023-24 NBA playoffs.
Initially, Leonard was selected for the Team USA roster for the 2024 NBA playoffs but was later replaced by Derrick White due to his ongoing recovery from injury. Recently, Clippers president Lawrence Frank revealed that Leonard might miss the next NBA season opener due to inflammation in his right knee after the surgery.
Clippers’ Lawrence Frank said he doesn’t have “a crystal ball” on whether Kawhi Leonard will be ready for opening night. But Frank added, “I think Kawhi is going to have a great year. When healthy, he is one of the greatest players in the world.” NBA Insider Mark Medina wrote in his latest reports on X (formerly Twitter).
During Leonard’s absence, the Los Angeles Clippers have encountered significant challenges in the past few seasons. Fans are eagerly anticipating Leonard’s return to the forefront of the league.
