LA Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue is optimistic about Kawhi Leonard's health as the team prepares for the 2024-25 season, stating that Leonard will be ready for training camp starting October 1. Leonard, who missed significant time last season due to right knee inflammation, expressed his relief at being able to recover fully while missing the Olympics. Despite concerns about his condition after being removed from Team USA's roster, Lue's confidence suggests Leonard is on track for a successful return. The departure of Paul George to the Philadelphia 76ers has increased the pressure on Lue and Leonard, but Lue is motivated to prove the doubters wrong. The Clippers' preseason schedule begins on October 8 against the Brooklyn Nets, marking an important step in their journey post-George. Leonard's recovery will be crucial for the Clippers as they aim to remain competitive in the upcoming season.
