Kawhi Leonard and Paul George were injured when the last Clippers season ended in April. When the new one begins next week, the stars — whose arrival four years ago heralded championship aspirations not yet realized because of injuries — will be in uniform and healthy to play.
When the team holds its first practice of training camp Tuesday in Hawaii, both will be “full participants,” Lawrence Frank, the Clippers’ president of basketball operations, said during his annual preseason address.
If one question about their present availability appears settled, another about their futures with the team has not been resolved.
