In a recent media session, Kawhi Leonard spoke about his knee injury that has kept him out of games since March 31. Despite passing all the necessary medical conditions for his return, Leonard looked rusty in Game 2 against the Dallas Mavericks. Clippers’ head coach, Ty Lue, stated that Leonard needs to work on improving as a unit with the team.
After the game, Leonard acknowledged that he felt good physically but highlighted the need for more practice and contact time before jumping into game action. He emphasized the importance of getting better as a team and contributing to their offensive success. The Clippers are counting on Leonard to elevate their performance, but they need him to perform at a higher level moving forward.
With three days until their next game, the Clippers must address their offensive disarray and come back stronger in the series. Leonard’s return is crucial for their success, but they need him to perform at a higher level moving forward. The team has a chance to bounce back and avoid falling behind 2-1 in the series with better teamwork and preparation.
