After enduring injury challenges throughout the previous season, the Clippers have received some promising news. Head coach Tyronn Lue recently revealed on the This League-Uncut podcast hosted by Chris Haynes and Marc Stein that both Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are expected to be at full health when the upcoming training camp commences.
“They’re both on track to be 100% by the time training camp starts, and that’s what we need,” Lue said, via Hoops Rumors. “You know, our best players will be healthy, and we’ve just been in an unfortunate situation where our two best players haven’t had a full season together in the last three years, and that’s been tough on us.”
Kawhi Leonard, who played 52 regular-season games last year and missed the playoffs, averaged 23.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 3.9 assists in 33.6 minutes per game.
Meanwhile, Paul George, who played 56 regular-season games before a leg injury ended his season, contributed with 23.8 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 5.1 assists in 34.6 minutes per game.
