Big kiss to Doc Rivers, who followed Uncle Dennis’ plan to the letter so as not to damage his diamond too much. In Florida, the Clippers coach will once again have to be careful with his star. Absent from the collective trip with his partners and staff for family reasons, Kawhi Leonard joined his teammates this weekend and did his first collective training on Monday after respecting his quarantine, alone in his room. The opportunity to review the former Toronto after a quarter of silence to answer a few questions about his health.

The break was beneficial for Kawhi Leonard. Drake’s former poto worked at home but rested as well to reach his peak at the most important time of the season. Even more than last year when he had missed 22 regular games before making a historic postseason to offer the Raptors the first title in their history.
