The Los Angeles Clippers suffered a setback as one of their key players went down with an injury. Tyronn Lue is now preparing for the opening game with James Harden and Kawhi Leonard leading the charge.

Kawhi Leonard faced injury concerns but still played in the Los Angeles Clippers’ first preseason game. He played the opening half despite his knee issues. His determination to compete was evident, as he aimed to help his team prepare for the season.

The Clippers re-acquired Batum this offseason, while signing the Covington-sized Jones Jr. in free agency. President of basketball operations Lawrence Frank says he doesn’t use the number four while describing roster construction as “point, three wings, and a big.” Frank also described several players on the roster who could fill that spot.

Clippers star Kawhi Leonard has been dealing with knee inflammation that is threatening to potentially keep him out when the Clippers open the season.

Los Angeles Clippers superstar Kawhi Leonard said that he and fellow star James Harden's relationship is a strong one ahead of the 2024-25 season.
