The NBA playoff series between the Los Angeles Clippers and Dallas Mavericks is set to be a star-studded showdown in the West.
The Mavericks have Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving and the Los Angeles Clippers have four future Hall of Famers – Kawhi Leonard, Russell Westbrook, Paul George and James Harden. However, one of those stars may not be available for Game 1. On Saturday, Tyronn Lue confirmed superstar Kawhi Leonard’s status remains up in the air as he continues to deal with inflammation in his right knee."We’re prepared both ways and so, we’re not sure.
So you know, I think we're good when it comes to kind of just holding together."If Leonard isn't able to go for Game 1, there will be more pressure on those future Hall of Famers. However, both George and Lue said it's a team effort."It's on all of us. It's not just one player or two players. It's all of us collectively doing our jobs and, doing the best we can do it. And so, it's not on one or two guys.
