Previously, the Clippers challenged the Thunder on the road
Before the game, the Clippers officially announced:
Leonard for "right knee management"
Will miss this game
Plus the previous truce between George and Morris
The Clippers' lineup has been greatly reduced
The team's starting line-up is:
Reggie, Powell, Mann
Batum and Zubac
In the end, the Clippers were short of major generals
Lost to the Thunder 94-108
About Leonard's injury
It also puzzled many people
This superstar after all
Just after nearly 500 days of recovery
After the start of the new season this year
He only played two games
He was absent again due to injury
In response, Clippers coach Tyronn Lue said:
"After shooting practice, he felt a little stiff in his knees, so we have to be careful and make sure we're doing the right thing for him, even if he wants to play. We just don't think it's wise to do so. He can be angry with us if he wants to, but right now it's not a wise move. ”
Leonard then returned to Los Angeles for treatment
The Clippers will be watching for feedback from his knees
to decide when he will return to the team
However, Leonard, who has never been a talker
When faced with injuries, there was no news
Boss Tyronn Lue was asked by reporters
When Leonard will be in team training
Lu said he didn't know
I don't even know if he'll play in the next game
At the same time, according to the disclosure of Lu's guidance
Considering Leonard's current stop-and-go state
It may take 2 months for the team
to return to normal rotation
Leonard, 31
It also began to be labeled "glass man"
In fact, back in the Spurs period
Leonard's attendance wasn't great
Before he grew into the core of the team
Bobo has always groomed him as a defensive player
Subsequently, with continuous efforts in the later stage
Leonard is also after the Spurs GDP era
took over the Spurs' team flag
However, in the first four years of his career
Never played more than 70 games in a single season
Suffered an ankle injury in the 2017 playoffs
Leonard's attendance has repeatedly dropped
In 2018, his trust with Spurs Time broke
During the season recovery phase
Because of the uproar over this matter
Poor form on the pitch, chaos off the pitch
This also caused the team's record to plummet
Finally in the summer of that year
Leonard was traded to the Raptors
But in the year of winning the championship
Leonard also played in just 60 games
And since the summer of 2019
After Leonard joined the Clippers as a free agent
He has played in just 111 games for the Clippers so far
A total of 118 matches were missed
Not only that, but attendance is getting worse
Since coming to Los Angeles
He never played more than 60 games in a single season
There are six seasons in total from 2017
Leonard played in just 180 regular season games
Completely became what people call "glass people"
