Last season, during the Western Conference semifinals, Kawhi Leonard got injured during game four after a foul by Joe Ingles. However, the Clippers managed to get past the top-seeded Utah Jazz and they made it to the Western Conference for the first time in their history.

Unfortunately, their magical run was cut short as they lost against Phoenix Suns in the Conference finals in six games. Kawhi re-signed with the Clippers earlier this month and is likely to miss most of the 2021-22 NBA season. But Clippers fans can’t wait to see Kawhi back on the court.
