  2. Just saw this on Threads. Heal up, Kawhi. 🙏🏽 The team shouldn’t need you to take care of business in DC.

  3. Someone pointed out that all his major knee injuries have been on his right knee (which seems to check out), so this being his left is a good to hear. I mean, it’s still an injury but yeah

  4. This was always going happen, heavy minutes, heavy ball usage, playing back to back games, playing through injury because Clippers put themselves in a massive hole to climb (6-21)

    One day Clippers will have promising team led by entertaining young stars who is not injury prone.

    >Edit: Kawhi Leonard sustained a contusion a week ago and has been dealing with some soreness since. It’s not seen as anything serious. (Chris Haynes)

    Clippers will still over work him in March which Clippers will play 18 games in 31 days. Few weeks before play-in or playoffs

  6. Damn, hope it’s nothing that will keep him out for an extended period of time.

  15. Zaza fucked this man up he would legit be a goat if that never happened prior to that injury he had elite mechanics. He still has good mechanics but that right foot is not goata anymore he often lands on his heel and try’s to decelerate with it on his right foot.

  16. lol imagine saying anything negative about Kawhi after the stretch he just gave us. It’s not like he choosing to get injured, anyone whose played professionally knows the fact this guy still as good as he is with the injuries he had is a miracle

  19. I’m personally not worrying about this. Seems like they are just being overly cautious. If anything, more meaningful minutes for the young guys who will have to be more aggressive and look for their own offense without leaning on Kawhi.

  22. More rest for him is a good thing. Ankle can get right and it at least being a knee contusion isn’t something to worry about IMO. He gutted through 2 must win games for us after it.

    Plus we have Yanic, as long as he plays important minutes we are undefeated and will stay that way.
