Guess who’s back? Back again? Why, Kawhi of course. The Clippers have closed the phone book on the 213 era, but for them, it’s still Kawhi Leonard, on loop. Basketball excellence with a bad knee, potentially historic upside in a heartbreakingly uncooperative body.

It has been just over nine months since LA Clippers fans have seen Kawhi Leonard play in a regular season game, but the wait for his return is finally over. After missing the first 34 games of the 2024-25 season, Leonard made his debut for LA's second game of 2025, as they host the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday night.
