It’s driving you crazy. Last night at Zitazounis – and today in France – Shams Charania announced the unavailability of Kawhi Leonard for Wednesday’s match against the Warriors. Yet another canceled in this injury-ravaged World Cup. You know the reporter who confuses everything.
Three, Kawhi Leonard only lasted three games before repeating. A white 2021-22 season, two of the first three meetings of this regular 2022-23, a short month’s absence, then this return to work on November 18th. Last updated tonight: According to information from Shams Charania, Kawhi Leonard is suffering from a right ankle sprain and will miss Wednesday’s game against the Warriors. Left with only his knee, The Klaw has quietly picked up the pace as he averages 23 minutes in his last three fights in Los Angeles. Not insane individual stats with 11/27 shooting including 1/9 from 3-point range, but a more less overall +38. Even when he is underperforming offensively, the presence of him in the midst of Nico Batum, Reggie Jackson and Marcus Morris provides great stability. Was the first option for the 2018-19 Raptors (title in the Finals against the Warriors). It’s always nice to have him with you rather than in front of you.

But now, if good things don’t last long, we don’t even have to fall into caricature. When it’s not the knee, it’s the ankle. When it’s no longer the ankle it will probably be the knee. We have the impression that Kawhi Leonard’s body has locked him in the most hellish spiral for a player of his caliber. Future Hall of Famer, double Finals MVP, five-time All-Star, leading interceptor of the 2014-15 season (who cares), all of these titles appeared on the deceptive brochure given to the Clippers when they signed Kawhi in the summer of 2019. Three years later, it should be opened a toll-free number to allow Californian fans to express themselves freely, for hours and hours, on their unease related to the direction the Kawhi Leonard – Paul George experience is taking. Only four games this season with the two All-Stars on the field, for three wins and many regrets. When one is 100%, the other isn’t, and vice versa… not really. Their situations are second to none: Paul George – although currently injured – plays and performs. He happens to be very disgusting, more than ” sometimes “, but play. May he be joined by his “only” 31-year-old partner when the playoffs begin. For this, the Clippers (11-7) have yet to qualify: a feat made immediately complicated by the fragility of their two best players.

Just what we needed, a little video of Kawhi wearing a Raptors jersey, just to reconcile us with the bad luck that orbits the boy. If he continues in this direction, the writing of his TBNL can be done before the end of his career.
