NBA – The Clippers still do not know if Kawhi Leonard will be able to play Game 1 of the series against Dallas on Sunday. The fault is an inflammation that doesn’t go away.
This is the big question at the start of the series between the Clippers and the Mavericks: Kawhi Leonard will he be present for Game 1 Sunday evening (9:00 p.m.)? For the moment, the winger’s status is still very uncertain…
“He does everything he can” explique Lawrence Frankthe president of the club. “Our medical staff is doing everything they can to reduce the inflammation and allow him to play. There has been progress, but there needs to be more. The inflammation still needs to reduce in order to allow him to do normal basketball-related movements. »
While he missed the last eight regular season games, the Clippers count on being able to count on Kawhi Leonard against Luka Doncic and the Mavericks. Lawrence Frank thus ensures that the right knee of “The Klaw” is ” solid “
particularly ligaments and menisci injured and operated on in the past.
However, the manager recognizes that his player must face “very, very stubborn inflammation”.
“There is no game (compared to Dallas), we are very sensitive to the fact that questions will be asked and we want to be as transparent as possible” concludes Lawrence Frank, well aware that the Clippers have not always been very clear about Kawhi Leonard’s injuries in the past, particularly in the playoffs. “There is no harm in telling the truth. It’s just unpredictable. We hope the trend is going in the right direction. This is a very accurate statement. When he is able to play, he will return to the field. »
