Kawhi Leonard and James Harden are set to lead a Los Angeles Clippers team with high aspirations for the 2025-26 NBA season. Leonard is one of the best players in the league when healthy, but injuries have impacted him over the years. Most fans do not like the idea of load management, but the Clippers will need to proceed with caution if they want Leonard to be at his best in the postseason.
The Clippers have been a consistent postseason contender in recent years. LA has been referred to as a potential championship team at times.
