Clippers coach Ty Lue says Kawhi Leonard will be ready for training camp: 'He's feeling good'
Leonard only played two games in the playoffs last season and missed the Olympics due to a knee injury
By Jack Maloney • 2 min readLos Angeles Clippers coach Ty Lue said in a recent interview with ESPN that star forward Kawhi Leonard, who once again battled knee problems last season, will be ready for training camp. The Clippers will hold their camp, which begins on Oct. 1, in Honolulu, Hawaii.
"I speak to him all the time," Lue said. "He'll be ready for [Clippers] training camp. He's feeling good and I know he'll be ready for training camp."
Leonard was playing terrific basketball last season, and had appeared in 68 of the Clippers' first 74 games before his knee started acting up again. He missed the final eight regular-season games due to inflammation, and sat out of Game 1 of the team's first-round playoff series versus the Dallas Mavericks as well. While he tried to play through the pain in Games 2 and 3, he didn't look like himself and did not play in the remainder of their six-game defeat.
In July, Leonard participated in mini camp with Team USA in Las Vegas ahead of the Olympics. However, he ended up being a late scratch and was replaced by Boston Celtics guard Derrick White. Clippers president Lawrence Frank disagreed with USA Basketball's decision.
"It was USAB's call, and I was, quite frankly, very disappointed with the decision," Frank said. "Kawhi wanted to play. We wanted him to play. I was there the first two practices. He looked very good. Participated, was a full participant in everything that they did. I wasn't there for the third practice, where, ultimately, that was the point where they they decided to go in a different direction. I expressed to them, I really wish that they would have given Kawhi more time. We have the benefit of having been around Kawhi for five years to see his body and see where he's at. So, he looked good to me. I know all the sacrifices he made in order to make this commitment to the Olympics. So it was very disappointing."
