These are images that will please Clippers fans. For an hour before the game against the Warriors, Kawhi Leonard did a workout. The MVP of the 2019 Finals was filmed during his shooting session.
Our colleague Chris Haynes, from Yahoo! Sports, confirmed that it was the first “workout” of this type, in front of the journalists, for the former player of San Antonio and Toronto.
Is this a sign that the winger will be back soon? No, because the Clippers have not communicated anything. They are still as cautious with Kawhi Leonard, as with Paul George, who has also been absent for quite a while.
The prospect of seeing them again this season is clearly not certain and a schedule has even been set by the Los Angeles coach. “I spoke to Tyronn Lue”, says Chris Haynes. “He told me that if both players don’t come back in the regular season, then it wouldn’t be safe to bring them back in the playoffs. »
