The Clippers' Plans with Kawhi Leonard: Will He Ever Leave Injuries Behind?

The 2024/25 NBA season is getting closer. On the horizon is the training camp before the start of the season, where the 30 teams in the league will play the classic preseason games to get ready. The Los Angeles Clippers are hoping to have Kawhi Leonard.

According to head coach Tyronn Lue, the Clippers are expecting their star to be ready for the start of training camp, putting behind him another knee injury in his history.

Leonard missed the last games of the previous season, including almost the entire playoff series against the Dallas Mavericks, due to inflammation in his surgically repaired right knee, which also kept him out of the Team USA lineup for the Olympics, where NBA champion Derrick White replaced him.

"I talk to him all the time," Lue told ESPN last week. "He will be ready for [the Clippers'] training camp. He feels good, and I know he'll be ready for it."

Will Kawhi Leonard overcome his knee problems?

Kawhi Leonard played in 68 games last season, the most he had played since the 2016-17 season with the San Antonio Spurs. Between those two years, the Clippers' star has never been able to fully overcome his knee issues.
