NBA Fans React to Viral Kawhi Leonard Offseason Video

LA Clippers star Kawhi Leonard finished last season sidelined due to inflammation in his surgically repaired right knee. The injury cost Leonard the last eight regular season games and four of LA’s six postseason games.

Removed from Team USA’s Paris Olympics roster after training camp, Leonard has had the summer to recover and fully work his way back from last season’s knee issue.

Clippers team president Lawrence Frank would not reveal whether or not Leonard underwent a procedure on his knee this summer, but did tell a group of reporters in Las Vegas that the decision to remove him from the roster was entirely USA Basketball’s.

Lawrence Frank said it was Team USA’s decision for Kawhi Leonard to not compete in the Olympics.
