Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard feels in no way obligated to play in every NBA game throughout the season, despite the league adding its new player participation policy last month.
Leonard, who missed all of the 2021-22 campaign, played in 52 games last season before tearing his right meniscus in Game 2 of the the team’s first-round series against the Suns. This forced him to miss the final three games of postseason play for the Clippers.
As Leonard transitions back to the court for his 12th NBA season, the Clippers’ star declined the notion of load management with reporters on Monday during the team’s media day.
