Clippers still don’t have a time frame for Kawhi Leonard’s return
Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard talks with coach Tyronn Lue on the sideline during a break in play. “So, when he completes that, then we’ll move on.” Lue didn’t say how many “boxes” Leonard had to cross out before he could play. “So, it’s actually really good for us, take advantage of it, get better,” Lue said. “We know when Kawhi comes back, he’s a defensive-minded guy who can guard the basketball and guard five different positions, so for him coming into what we’re doing here shouldn’t be a hard thing to get involved.” Lue admitted that because Kris Dunn and Derrick Jones are such top-notched defenders that when Leonard does return he won’t have to defend the top players right away and can ease his way back into game condition. “It’s very impactful because now he can focus in on scoring the basketball, not getting tired and when he comes back, what kind of shape is he going to be in,” Lue said.
