Not only that, but Kawhi Leonard has missed 4 of his 6 games and played just 42 minutes for the entire season. More than a year after his anterior cruciate ligament tear in the 2021 playoffs, there were all signs that he was ready, but his knee wasn’t responding well and when will he be back on the court? Ruh has already been ruled out of Monday’s game against the Rockets due to “injury management.”
The Clippers still have plenty of time to work things out and this team will ultimately be judged solely on what they do in the playoffs. Still, early signs aren’t encouraging. As Lou put it bluntly, the Clippers are not a good team at this point.
