Star player Kawhi Leonard of the LA Clippers exited the Timberwolves game on Tuesday night.
The LA Clippers’ premier player, Kawhi Leonard, exited the Minnesota Timberwolves game on Tuesday night due to what the team is referring to as thoracic spasms. It was obvious that Leonard would not be coming back when he was seen exiting the arena in his street clothes during the TNT broadcast. The star forward is experiencing thoracic spasms, the Clippers said prior to the start of the second half.
Paul George, Leonard’s co-star, and the Clippers have both shown remarkable durability this season. Up to this point in the season, the two great forwards have managed to escape any prolonged absences due to injuries.
Clippers desperately need Kawhi Leonard back
Since the diagnosis of Leonard’s injuries is still very early, there is currently no timescale available.
Leonard’s absence from the Clippers would undoubtedly affect their pursuit for the top seed in the Western Conference. Leonard remained in the locker room for the entire second quarter, and at one point the Clippers’ 22-point lead was only four points.
The duration of Leonard’s absence is unknown, but the Clippers will be without their star forward for the remainder of this game against the Timberwolves. Naturally, it is hoped that Leonard won’t have to lose much time, but as of yet, it is impossible to tell.
