Kawhi Leonard’s Injury Raises Concerns for Los Angeles Clippers
Los Angeles Clippers star Kawhi Leonard recently exited a game due to thoracic spasms, sparking concerns for the team. Leonard, who left the game after just 12 minutes and was later seen walking away from the locker room in street clothes, was unable to continue due to back issues.
Coach Tyronn Lue revealed that Leonard had been trying to play through the pain but ultimately had to sit out after the first quarter. His absence contributed to one of the worst losses of the season for the Clippers, as they blew a 22-point lead.
With Leonard’s status for upcoming road games uncertain, the team faces the possibility of being without their star player once again. Leonard has a history of injuries during his time with the Clippers and has yet to play more than 60 games in a season for the team.
This season was supposed to be a chance for the Clippers to showcase their potential with a healthy Leonard and Paul George, but injuries have been a persistent issue. The team was already missing Russell Westbrook due to injury, and now they can only hope that Leonard’s current issues are minor and won’t keep him sidelined for long. Fans and analysts alike are eager to see how the team will fare with a fully healthy lineup, but Leonard’s health remains a key concern moving forward.
