THE Kawhi Leonard is a great basketball player who has managed to celebrate two championships and as many awards Finals MVP in the NBA with different teams (Spurs 2014, Raptors 2019).
At the same time, however, it is one of the most vulnerable players in the top league of the planet, being more… absent than present in the obligations of his respective team in recent years, due to frequent injury problems that trouble him.
The same is true this year, as Leonard missed all of their preseason games Clippersdid not play in their opener against the Suns, and is expected, according to Sams Harania, to be out for several weeks. This is, of course, a big problem for the LA team, who will need… orgies from him James Harden to stay on track.
In recent years, “Klaw” injuries are one of the main reasons that the Clippers have largely disappointed. In the 2022-23 season she played just 52 of her games Regular Seasonwhile in the playoffs he was injured in the first round, as a result of which his team was eliminated by the Suns.
Last year, he managed to hit the floor for 68 out of 82 gamesbut in the postseason his problems knocked on the “door” again, as a result of which he was absent from most of the series with the Dallas Maverickswhich the Clippers lost in six games, getting eliminated in the first round.
During his NBA career, Mr Leonard has an average 20.0 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.7 steals per game.
