On January 7, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season is in full swing. Earlier today, according to US media legion Hoops, Leonard is recovering well in his recovery from a torn anterior cruciate ligament and is expected to return this season!
Leonard suffered an injury in the playoffs last season and underwent partial tear repair surgery for his right anterior cruciate ligament last offseason. Based on previous reports, it will be difficult for Leonard to make a comeback this season. But according to the Clippers' reports in recent days, Leonard's recovery is doing well, in the words of coach Terronelu: "Leonard's recovery has made good progress, but I didn't have much to watch his training because I didn't want to get too excited!" ”
If Leonard can make a comeback this season, it's certainly great news for the Clippers. This season, the Clippers have been hit by injuries, and another star on the team, George, has also suffered a torn elbow ligament, and it is still unknown when he will return. The Clippers are currently only 19-19, ranking 8th in the West.
In the last season, Leonard averaged 34.1 minutes per game, 24.8 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5.2 assists, and in the playoffs, Leonard averaged 30.4 points, 7.7 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 2.1 steals per game, shooting 57.3% from the field and 39.3% from three-point range!
