Leonard has been out with what the Clippers described as right knee injury recovery. He has not played since April 26, when he appeared in Game 3 of the Clippers' Western Conference first-round playoff series against Dallas. He missed 12 of the Clippers’ final 14 games last season with right knee inflammation, but thought he was healthy enough to play for USA Basketball this past summer at the Paris Olympics.
He appeared in 68 games last season for the Clippers, his most since playing in 74 for San Antonio during the 2016-17 season. “This is just my journey,” Leonard said this past summer, discussing his injuries. “I can’t lay out the perfect script for me. Last year I tried to play as much as possible, felt great and at a certain period of time I couldn’t go. I tried the best that I could, but it’s just my journey. ... I motivate a lot of people, so I’ve got to keep doing what I’m doing.”
