On Sunday afternoon, via X(formerly Twitter), Joey Linn, a well-known beat writer and reporter on the LA Clippers, posted that Kawhi Leonard, the face of the franchise with two championships in his showroom, is expected to play in the preseason opener versus the Guangzhou Loong-Lions.
This expectation stems from Leonard himself, as he was asked a question and subsequently hovered over his participation status. Additionally, he covered the purpose of training camp, which is ultimately to prepare for the season ahead.
This has been a long time coming, and the second action begins against the Loong-Lions, fans of the Clippers should soak in the moment and really cherish Leonard breaking a sweat while running back and forth, crushing his competition.
