Kawhi Leonard underwent knee ‘procedure’ in offseason with opening night status murky
NY Post
Clippers star Kawhi Leonard is dealing with swelling in his right knee, the organization revealed Tuesday.
The news came on the same day that The Athletic’s Shams Charania reported that Leonard had undergone a knee “procedure” during the offseason.
Team president Lawrence Frank told reporters that the swelling “significantly” decreased, but that Leonard will be kept out of drills during next week’s training camp in order for him to be back at full strength.
“It’s truly unfortunate that he’s had to deal with this, but we’re trending in the right direction,” Frank said, according to the Los Angeles Times. “The goal is to get him to 100 percent so he can have a great season, not just this year, but for many years.”
Frank said he wasn’t sure whether the Clippers star would be ready for the start of this season.
“I think that the timing’s all going to basically depend on how his knee responds to each phase,” he said, according ESPN. “No one has a crystal ball.”
