On September 25, according to a report by renowned journalist Shams: Clippers star Leonard underwent knee surgery during the offseason.
Previously reported: Leonard’s knee injury has not fully healed, and he will miss part of the training camp. The Clippers are still unsure when he will return to play.
Clippers President Frank stated: “Leonard’s right knee has shown significant reduction in swelling. We will keep him away from some of the high-intensity training at the camp and focus on strengthening exercises for his knee.”
Leonard played 68 games in the regular season last year, averaging 23.7 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.6 steals per game.
He subsequently missed the last 8 games of the regular season due to a knee injury and only played two games after returning in the playoffs, averaging 12 points, 8 rebounds, and 2 assists per game.
It is worth noting that the Clippers only reached an early contract extension with Leonard for $152.4 million over three years in January this year.
