Los Angeles Clippers turn to familiar ‘savior’ after Kawhi Leonard-Paul George experiment falls short
The Los Angeles Clippers are no stranger when it comes to falling short of expectations.
The Kawhi Leonard-Paul George era that was filled with so much promise and excitement back in July of 2019, ended with a lowly whimper when George signed a four-year, $212 million contract with the Philadelphia 76ers this past offseason.
The Leonard-George era came and went without so much a peep.
During the five years they spent together in Los Angeles, the Clippers advanced out of the first round only twice and reached the Western Conference Finals once.

This era of Clippers basketball will be remembered by all of the games that Leonard and George missed, rather than the games they actually played in.
They played in a total of 181 games together out of 453, including only 26 postseason games.
That boils down to a tick below 40% that Clippers fans saw Leonard and George on the court together over the last five years.
