Kawhi Leonard’s Unexpected Absence: What This Means for the Clippers’ Playoff Hopes
The Los Angeles Clippers find themselves in a bit of a slump, dropping four games straight and five of their last six — tough sledding, no doubt. On top of that, their star wing, Kawhi Leonard, is sidelined for the foreseeable future with a sprained ankle, according to coach Tyronn Lue right before they were edged out by the Suns. It’s frustrating, especially since Leonard has already missed three games and Lue’s update was pretty nebulous — the kind of injury news we’ve all gotten too used to in today’s NBA. Kawhi’s injury history casts a long shadow, having only cleared 65 games once in nine seasons, though when he’s on, he’s still a beast, dropping 24.3 points, grabbing nearly six boards, and dishing out over three assists per game this year. Oddly enough, despite his numbers, the Clippers are getting outscored when he’s on the floor — a larger reflection of their overall struggles than anything Kawhi’s doing. With home games against the Hawks and Nuggets looming — likely without Leonard — followed by a brutal seven-game road stretch, including a clash with the Lakers, the next few weeks promise to test the Clippers’ mettle.
