Clippers Injury Report: Leonard Out for Game 1 of 2024 NBA Playoffs
Clippers Announce Injury Update
Lawrence Frank Makes Statement
The Los Angeles Clippers have released their official injury report for their upcoming Game 1 matchup against the Dallas Mavericks in the 2023-2024 NBA Playoffs. The report reveals that star forward Kawhi Leonard will be out due to injury.
Clippers president of basketball operations Lawrence Frank announced on Thursday that Leonard underwent a successful surgery to repair a torn ACL in his right knee. The surgery was performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles. Frank stated that Leonard is expected to make a full recovery and return to play in the 2024-2025 season.
Leonard's absence is a significant blow to the Clippers' chances of advancing in the playoffs. The two-time NBA Finals MVP is one of the best players in the league and is a key component to their success. The Clippers will need to rely on other players to step up and fill the void left by Leonard.
Despite Leonard's injury, the Clippers remain confident in their ability to compete in the playoffs. They have a deep roster with several players who can contribute, and they have a proven track record of success in the postseason. The Clippers will look to overcome Leonard's absence and make a run at the NBA championship.
