It’s driving you crazy. Last night at the Zitazounis – and today in France – Shams Charania announced the unavailability of Kawhi Leonard for this Wednesday’s game once morest the Warriors. Yet another set aside in this injury-ravaged World Cup. You know the journalist who confuses everything.
Three, Kawhi Leonard only lasted three games before repeating himself. A white 2021-22 season, two of the first three meetings of this regular 2022-23, an absence of a short month, then this return to business on November 18. Last update dated tonight: according to information from Shams Charania, Kawhi Leonard is suffering from a right ankle sprain and will miss Wednesday’s game once morest the Warriors. Left alone by his knee, The Klaw quietly picked up the pace with an average of 23 minutes over the last three meetings in Los Angeles. Not crazy individual stats with 11/27 shooting including 1/9 from 3-pointers, but a plus/minus overall +38. Even when he underperforms offensively, his presence in the middle of Nico Batum, Reggie Jackson and Marcus Morris provides great stability. He was the first option for the 2018-19 Raptors (titled in the Finals once morest the Warriors). It’s always cool to have it with you rather than in front.
Clippers‘ Kawhi Leonard has a right ankle sprain and will miss Wednesday’s game vs. Warriors.

But now, if good things only last a while, we must not fall into caricature either. When it’s not the knee it’s the ankle. When it’s no longer the ankle it will probably be the knee. We have the impression that Kawhi Leonard’s body has locked him in the most infernal spiral for a player of his caliber. Futur Hall of Famer, double Finals MVP, five-time All-Star, best interceptor of the 2014-15 season (who cares), all these titles appeared on the misleading brochure given to the Clippers when signing Kawhi in the summer of 2019. Three years later, a toll-free number should be opened to allow Californian fans to express themselves freely, for hours on end, regarding their discomfort linked to the turn that the Kawhi Leonard – Paul George experience is taking. . Only four games this season with the two All-Stars on the floor, for three wins and a lot of regrets. When one is 100% the other isn’t, and vice versa… not really. Their situations are second to none: Paul George – although currently injured – plays and performs. He happens to be very disgusting, more than ” sometimes “, but he plays. May he be joined by his partner of “only” 31 years old when the Playoffs begin. For that, the Clippers (11-7) still have to qualify: a feat made instantly complicated by the fragility of their two best players.

Just what we needed, a little video of Kawhi in the Raptors jersey, just to reconcile with the bad luck that orbits around the guy. If he continues in this direction, the writing of his TBNL will be able to be done before the end of his career.
