Kawhi Leonard finally made his return after suffering an ACL injury and missing the entirety of the last season.
Kawhi Leonard marked his return to action in the preseason game against the Portland Trail Blazers. It was his first game since getting hurt in the playoffs in 2021 against the Utah Jazz.
Against the Blazers, Kawhi ended up scoring 11 points, along with 4 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals. The Los Angeles Clippers have a formidable roster, and their star players being healthy is their key to success.
All the star players of the Clippers featured alongside Kawhi Leonard in the preseason game against the Blazers who got Damian Lillard back. Lillard missed a significant portion of last season, and now that he is back healthy in a restructured roster, their ambitions are quite high as well.
The Clippers are a legit title contender as their depth is better than anyone’s in the league. It was visible against the Blazers, and with the season set to start in a couple of weeks, Kawhi Leonard will hope to get more minutes under his belt.
