Kawhi Leonard, the star player for the Los Angeles Clippers, will be sitting out the beginning of the season due to ongoing rehabilitation for inflammation in his right knee. According to reports, Leonard's return to the court is uncertain as he continues to deal with this knee issue. He has not participated in any preseason games and has been avoiding on-court contact during training camp.
The Clippers have not provided any official statement regarding Leonard's absence at the start of the season. Leonard himself had expressed optimism at the beginning of training camp, stating that he intended to be in the starting lineup for the opening game if his knee allowed.
