Kawhi Leonard widely expected to re-sign with Clippers this offseason
Yet barring a dramatic turn of events in these coming months, it’s looking like this Leonard free agency will be decidedly less dramatic. While this league has certainly taught us to expect the unexpected, the truth is that Leonard is still widely, well, expected to re-sign with the Clippers. As it stands, that’s the word from Clippers sources and rival executives alike.
Ohm Youngmisuk: Kawhi Leonard scored or assisted on 38 points in 34 minutes, nearly matching the Lakers starters, who put up 42 points total, per @ESPNStatsInfo
Mirjam Swanson: Kawhi’s sneakers show his ‘Moreno Valley swag,’ and this week’s sneaker giveaway there shows he cares. @movalmayor is a fan: “We’re really excited to have someone from Moreno Valley that’s a star and willing to give back to the community he grew up.” ocregister.com/2021/04/03/cli…
Leonard has stepped up one aspect of his defense in particular, averaging 3.2 steals over the last two weeks. He has single-handedly dragged the Clippers from the bottom of the league in forcing turnovers going into the All-Star Break to a league-average rate. “Kawhi took the challenge, and whenever he starts the game, it sets the tone for us,” Lue said of Leonard after a five-steal night in San Antonio Wednesday. “He gets everybody else to follow him. So, you know, we need that every single night. He’s been doing it for us in every way.”
Law Murray: Rajon Rondo will not play tonight, per Tyronn Lue. Kawhi Leonard and Marcus Morris Sr. will play.
Derek Bodner: Joel Embiid (out, left knee bone bruise) is only Sixer on today’s 5:30 pm injury report. George Hill is not yet with the team and will not play. Should have an update on his injury status soon. Ibaka and Beverley are out for the Clippers. Kawhi and Morris are questionable.
