Clippers Give Injury Updates on Kawhi Leonard and Paul George Entering New Season

Following a first round exit that again saw both Kawhi Leonard and Paul George sidelined when the season ended, the LA Clippers are entering the 2023-24 season full healthy. Speaking with reporters on Wednesday afternoon, Clippers president Lawrence Frank confirmed that Leonard, George, and the entire Clippers roster is healthy and expected to fully participate in training camp.

The Clippers will host their media day on Monday, then fly to Hawaii for training camp beginning on Tuesday. The expectation since last season ended has been for both Leonard and George to be fully healthy by the start of training camp, so it's encouraging to hear Frank confirm that is indeed still the case.

With Leonard returning from an ACL tear at the beginning of last season, he was quickly sidelined again when his knee didn't respond to game action the way he hoped it would. Having suffered a meniscus tear in the first round of last year's playoffs, Leonard will again have to see how his knee responds to training camp and game action; however, the team is optimistic that the procedure he had done will leave him ready to go from day one.

The Clippers are excited about the team they've put together, and while there could still be moves between now and the start of the regular season, their roster is in better shape now than it was at this time last season.
