Kawhi Leonard’s return is for tonight!
The Clippers have not been spared in recent weeks, with premature end of the season Bradley Bealhit the hip knee injury Derrick Jones Jrand an ugly nine-game losing streak in ten games to dampen spirits, including two straight losses, at Boston (121-118) and Philadelphia (110-108).
Tyronn Lue’s training needed a jolt to start with another dynamic, and this one came from James Hardenthe author of 55 points in the victory won in Charlotte (116-131). The last part brought a breath of fresh air to the group, which welcomed another piece of good news: a comeback Kawhi Leonard expected tonight!
Complicated schedule
it is our colleague Chris Haynes who released the information, announcing that Kawhi Leonard is expected in uniform for tonight’s “back-to-back” on the Cavs floor. The second “player” of the Clippers was absent for ten games due to foot pain. In the six games before the injury, he had very good statistics with more than 24 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.
Note that Bogdan Bogdanovic, who was spared yesterday, should also be there to face the best team in the Eastern Conference last season. Then we will have to deal with a difficult schedule as the Californians will finish their seven-game “trip” on the floor of their neighbors, the Lakers, this Tuesday. They then have two home games against Memphis and Dallas before returning to the road for the next five games.
