On April 24, Beijing time, according to TNT reporter Jared Greenberg, Leonard is expected to usher in a comeback in today's G2 game. "Through conversations with multiple people, they believe Kawhi [Leonard] will make his 2024 playoff debut in today's G2 game," Greenberg said in the report. ”
"The Clippers are still in doubtful terms of Kowai, he finished this morning's practice, and everyone in the stadium believed he would play today's game, and Kowye also participated in yesterday's practice, but he didn't participate in any confrontation training at the time. During his absence, he has been dealing with inflammation in his knee. ”
Talking about Xiaoka's injury earlier, Director Lu said: "We can only observe every day. First of all, you have to protect him. We can just wait and see how it progresses every day. "
The U.S. men's basketball team has officially announced the 12-man Olympic roster, and Xiaoka is among them, and he has received his No. 8 jersey. However, if Xiaoka is unable to participate in the Olympics, the U.S. men's basketball team has also prepared a plan and will choose another player to replace him.
Leonard has been relatively healthy this season, averaging 23.7 points, 6.1 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 68 regular-season games. He missed the last eight regular season games and the playoffs G1. Some media believe that Xiaoka's comeback has put the Lone Ranger in a bigger predicament.
Greenberg also mentioned Harden on the show, saying that the Clippers' introduction of Harden in the summer really took the pressure off George and Jr. The arrival of Harden has also boosted Zubac's performance, and Plumlee and Theis have also benefited. Greenberg said. Zubac was quite impressive in G1, finishing with 20 points and 15 rebounds on 10-of-17 shooting, and Harden made a lot of good passes for him.
