Yesterday the Clippers lost against the Suns signing their second consecutive loss and the seventh in the last ten games. Little can be asked of the team after losing Paul George through injury, who still has at least a couple of weeks left. If at the beginning the season was looming complicated, this absence has made December and January a steep slope. But yesterday the Clippers did have something to celebrate. At the end of the meeting, Marcus Morris was asked about the return of Kawhi Leonard and, although he responded diplomatically, he could not help but contain his smile behind the mask.
During the last weeks, in the environment of the franchise, the idea of having its great star once again has fluttered, of which nothing but positive news is known about his recovery. However, it wasn’t until yesterday afternoon that an authoritative voice like Chris Haynes unveiled that Leonard is on his way to shortening his deadlines. The journalist from Yahoo Sports He notes that Kawhi has increased his workload quite a bit in recent weeks, making his return viable before the end of the regular season.
Immediately after the news broke, the local press started asking Tyron Lue about the matter. “I can not talk about that. I am optimistic but I am not sure. I would like to recover a few players from injury. Or what is the same, that despite not being able to say anything in case the situation ends up twisting, Kawhi’s return continues to enter into the Clippers’ possible plans for this same course.
