Blog Article

Curry Leonard, a key member of the Los Angeles Clippers, is unlikely to play in the opening game due to a knee injury.

ESPN reported on the 18th that "L.A. Clippers star Leonard will be out indefinitely due to rehabilitation due to right knee inflammation."

Leonard is the core of the Clippers, who won the NBA Finals MVP in 2014 and 2019.

In March, inflammation was found in Leonard's right knee.

Leonard missed the final eight games of the 2023-2024 regular season and missed four of six games against the Dallas Mavericks in the first round of the playoffs (PO).

He was about to participate in the 2024 Paris Olympics for the first time in his life, but he dropped out of the national team.

Leonard received various treatments to relieve inflammation. 먹튀검증

According to ESPN, when asked if he should be treated for inflammation throughout the rest of his career, Leonard replied that he was receiving rehabilitation treatment well by medical staff without completely ruling out the possibility of that.

"We will do everything we can to restore franchise star Leonard's knee to 100 percent," Clippers President Lawrence Frank said.

James Harden, who was more burdened by Leonard's departure, said, "We need enough time for Leonard to return healthy during the season," ESPN reported.

Leonard blew the entire season with a ruptured cruciate ligament in his right knee in the 2021-2022 season.

Leonard, who played in 52 regular league games in the 2022-2023 season, averaged 23.7 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.6 steals in 68 games last season, making him the sixth All-Star.

The Clippers will play the first game of the 2024-2025 NBA regular season against the Phoenix Suns at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California on the 24th.
