Things are far from great for the Los Angeles Clippers. In a first-round playoff fixture reminiscent of the 2020-21 Conference Finals, the LA side locked horns with the Phoenix Suns. Just like the Clippers had the last laugh in the very first game of the series. However, the Suns vanquished the Clippers in four back-to-back games and have now sent them home. Aggravating the woes of the Clippers’ fans, a massive update about their centerpiece Kawhi Leonard has now hit them hard.

The Clippers’ fans are not alien to Kawhi Leonard’s uncanny tryst with injuries. The 2x-NBA champion had ended his second season with an injury. Leonard missed out on the entire 2021-22 season on the back of another injury. Now, after ending this season on a sad note, Leonard’s sadness seems to have aggravated.

Huge Kawhi Leonard update hits the hoops-world

Kawhi Leonard was crucial for the Clippers’ triumphant first game against the Suns. He tallied a game-high 38 points, five rebounds and five assists in that game. However, Kawhi sprained his right knee later and missed the last three games of the series. This misfortune befell the Clippers who have already been missing Paul George, who got injured prior to the post-season. As the latest updates tell, Kawhi Leonard seems to have a bigger problem than a knee sprain.

Hours after the Clippers got knocked, Shams Charania took to Twitter with an update on Kawhi Leonard’s knee injury. “Clippers star Kawhi Leonard has been diagnosed with a torn meniscus in his right knee, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium,” said Shams Charania in his latest tweet on the Clippers’ star.
