The Los Angeles Clippers have experienced a mix of anticipation and concern as they prepare for the 2024-25 NBA season.
As the team unveils a new arena and logo, the focus remains on the health and availability of their franchise star, Kawhi Leonard, following news of a knee procedure in the offseason that could potentially sideline him for the upcoming season opener against the New York Knicks.
Reported by Shams Charania and Law Murray of The Athletic, Leonard’s knee procedure was disclosed, highlighting the limited extent to which he will participate in training camp as he focuses on strengthening his knee.
