The star of the Los Angeles Clippers, Kawhi Leonard, will return to play this Saturday against the Atlanta Hawks at the Intuit Dome in what will be his debut in the 2024/25 season.
After a very solid 2023/24 campaign, he got injured before the playoffs. Despite attempting to play against the Dallas Mavericks, he was more of a hindrance to his teammates. He was then selected to play for Team USA in the Paris Games, but officials sent him home when they saw his physical condition. Since then, everything has been uncertain. According to ESPN, it now seems like he is really going to return, though we won't believe it until we see him on the court. It would be his first game since April 26th.
The Clippers have achieved a surprising performance this season despite Leonard's absence, with a record of 19-15 placing them in the second spot in the Pacific Division. Experienced forward Norman Powell has taken on a prominent role, leading the team with an average of 23.6 points per game, well above the 13.9 he averaged last season. On the other hand, 33-year-old Leonard played 68 games in the previous season, with averages of 23.7 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 3.6 assists.
