Los Angeles: So, it looks like Kawhi Leonard is finally making his comeback! After missing almost half the season, he’s expected to play this Saturday against the Atlanta Hawks. How exciting is that?
According to some reliable sources, including Chris Haynes and Law Murray, his status has changed from out to questionable. He’s been recovering from a right knee injury, and fans are buzzing about his return.
Leonard even teased us with a video last week, showing he’s been working hard. He mentioned there have been ups and downs, but he’s pushing through. It’s been a long wait since we last saw him on the court during the playoffs last season.
He was supposed to play in the Clippers’ season opener but had to sit out due to knee inflammation. After some time off and a knee procedure, he’s back in practice and ready to go.
But here’s the big question: how long can he stay healthy? The Clippers have invested a lot in him, but injuries have kept him off the court for too long. They’ve only had him for 257 games in six seasons, which is pretty wild.
Even without him, the Clippers have been holding their own with a decent 19-15 record. James Harden and Norman Powell have been stepping up, but fans are eager to see the full team in action this weekend.
