NBA – Kawhi Leonard suffers from his right knee and he returned to Los Angeles alone, directly after arriving in Sacramento.
Left with his teammates to challenge Sacramento after the victory won in Charlotte on Sunday, Kawhi Leonard finally reached Los Angeles earlier than expected. As soon as the Clippers plane landed, the former Spurs and Raptors player headed to LA.
The reason ? Persistent pain in the right knee which prompted the Clippers staff to be cautious, less than two weeks before the end of the regular season. The player was able to begin treatment but the duration of his unavailability is not known. Enough to fuel rumors and fuel concerns among Clippers fans. Especially since it was the same knee that he injured 11 months ago, and at the time it was a torn meniscus.
Asked about the continuation of the deadlines for his major player, Tyronn Lue could not give further details, except that the team had only learned following the victory in Charlotte on Sunday that Kawhi Leonard was suffering from his knee. . The person concerned had played 37 minutes of play without showing any particular signs of discomfort, but the situation would have worsened the next day, causing this change in schedule on Tuesday.
As for his participation in the Denver match tomorrow evening, uncertainty still reigned yesterday. “We hope so”
, declared the Clippers coach. « We’re not sure right now, but that’s where we’re heading. We hope to get him back this Thursday, but there is nothing certain.”
The only good news for Tyronn Lue’s team is that the end of the regular season will feature six out of seven games at home, and therefore allow Kawhi Leonard to heal while remaining close to the group.
