More on this storyline

Janis Carr: Asked if the thought Kawhi could miss the entire season, Ty said, "I don't see those chances (of not playing this season). But I'm not a doctor either, but I don't see those chances." -via x.com / October 17, 2024 LA Clippers star Kawhi Leonard will be sidelined indefinitely to begin the NBA season as he rehabilitates from inflammation in his right knee, sources told ESPN on Thursday. The Clippers and Leonard are in the midst of a rehab process for the two-time NBA Finals MVP that is aimed to bring sustainability for him on the court through the season, and the franchise will be diligent and cautious to ensure his fitness long-term. Leonard, 33, has neither played during the Clippers' entire preseason — which concludes Thursday against the Sacramento Kings — nor has he participated in any activity involving on-court contact during training camp . -via ESPN / October 17, 2024 Leonard and the Clippers have gone through a variety of medical treatments to control the inflammation since the end of last season. Lawrence Frank, president of basketball operations, said at the start of training camp that the inflammation had gone down significantly since last postseason, but that the team wanted to get the franchise star's knee to 100% and would take every precaution. When asked if he could have to deal with the inflammation coming up for the rest of his career, Leonard said that is a possibility but that the medical staff has got a better handle on it and is trying to ensure that isn't the case . -via ESPN / October 17, 2024
