With a knee injury, Leonard missed the Clippers ' last three playoff games. He was immediately selected to play for Team USA in the Paris Olympics, and he started training camp with the team as scheduled this summertime before he was removed from the squad. That choice, Team USA's speech said, was done in his "best attention" despite him feeling "ready to thrive". Derrick White, a player for the Boston Celtics, took Leonard's place.
The Clippers ' president of basketball businesses Lawrence Frank said he was "very unhappy" by the determination, and they insisted that they had nothing to do with it.
Throughout his profession, Leonard has suffered a number of significant knee injury. He had a torn ACL that caused him to miss the whole 2021-22 season, and he only played two games during the 2023 playoffs because of a torn meniscus. He split with the Heels in 2018 after a long struggle over a series of injury, too.
Leonard appeared in 68 games last year, which is the most he's played in all but two months of his profession. He averaged 23.7 positions and 6.1 touchdowns while earning his fifth All-Star smile.
Even though Leonard insisted he was healthy and good to go this summer, the Clippers will now have to prepare for the season with the possibility that their star player wo n't be ready to go right away. The Clippers, who lost Paul George in free agency this past season, have been knocked out of the first round of the quarterfinals in each of the last two months.
