Kawhi Leonard made his season debut, but a major concern still hovers above his head.
The Los Angeles Clippers have been waiting for months to see Kawhi Leonard back in action after the 2x NBA champion battled a knee injury.
Leonard’s 2024 postseason run was cut short due to the same and he has spent the better half of the year recovering from the same.
Well, the wait is finally over as Kawhi played the first game of the season against the Atlanta Hawks.
Kawhi Leonard had a lackluster game
A combined effort from multiple players propelled the Clippers to a stunning 131-105 win over the Hawks in their recent matchup.
But all eyes were on Leonard during his first game in what felt like an eternity.
As expected, the Klaw was a bit rusty as he finished the night with 12 points, 3 rebounds, and 1 assist in 19 minutes of playing time. He finished the night with an underwhelming 4-of-11 shooting display.
It’s evident that Leonard still requires a few games to get into a rhythm. But the million-dollar question remains: Is Kawhi fit?

Leonard is playing, but he is not fit
The LA Clippers obviously have faith in the 33-year-old as he is making close to $50 million this year. Moreover, he is under contract with the organization for the next two seasons on a guaranteed deal.
But is it worth investing such a huge amount in an injury-prone star? Kawhi’s postgame conference after his season debut forced many to ask this question.
“I don’t know. Last time, I woke up and it was flared up and I couldn’t move. Now, it’s just keeping it moving. I don’t know, it’s day-to-day,” Leonard told the media.
Judging by Leonard’s answer, he is not even close to 100% fit and there is a risk that his right knee inflammation could return in the future.
With a 20-15 record, the Clippers are currently the seventh seed in the Western Conference, but it’s hard to see them making a deep playoff run with Kawhi at his full strength.
