Prior to the Clippers’ defeat to the Incredible Jazz, Tyronn Lue was asked about Kawhi Leonard’s medical records. The knee of the five-time All-Star scratched earlier in the season. As a result, he went off the bench in the first two games before disappearing into Spifen’s shelves in the infirmary.
A white season 2021-22, a slow start for the financial year 2022-23. After their setback this Sunday against the Jazz, the Clippers show a record of five wins for as many losses and squats 8th place at the Western Conference. The life of an average team since it was orphaned by its best player. But just before being washed by Lauri Markkanen and his friends of him, Tyronn Lue answered the question that he will decide the quality of the Clippers season: where is the double NBA champion in his recovery? The coach said Kawhi Leonard “progressing well” and that he was also able to do some individual workouts. It’s nice. The least interesting thing is that we have been sold an absence of“at least two weeks” six days ago and no specific return date emerges. The Clippers will continue to follow the team doctor’s recommendations. We have heard it too many times already.
The last time the Orange Planet enjoyed a Kawhi Leonard at the top of its game, the 2018-19 Warriors still remember. He is “only” 31 years old and absolutely must make himself available in an optimal manner alongside Paul George at the matches of post-season will begin. To do this, the editorial specialist in physical recovery and Kawhiotherapy advises Mr. Léonard to contest at least 60 regular games. Looking like a flower in April will no longer be enough. It would be about getting in shape to beat teams that will already have six months of running in their legs. And then only for the inheritance, ego and self-confidence, it’s always good to pass a sixth All-Star Game selection. And also to prevent the lady from paying back her face as at the beginning of the season: “Kawhi, this is your first game since 2013”. Oh bad.
