After injuries scuttled another promising season, the Clippers’ Lawrence Frank says Leonard will be ready to begin next season after a meniscus tear in his right knee.
PLAYA VISTA — The season didn’t end the way it started for the Clippers this season. The optimism and championship talk that welcomed the new season eroded with each loss and every injury to their stars, leaving the team contemplating what’s next sooner than expected.
“It’s agonizing not to be able to help your team, and he was pushing all the limits and boundaries to try to be ready to play,” Frank said of Leonard, a two-time NBA Finals MVP. “He was going to be on the fastest of fast tracks to get back and help us.” “We want to keep them as Clippers for a long time,” Frank said. “So, we’ll look forward to those conversations.”
“He embodies what a Clipper is. He’s tough, he’s reliable, he competes every night, and he’s about all the right stuff.”“Why wouldn’t he be back? Of course, he’s back,” Frank said. “Ty’s a terrific coach, and we’re excited to have him as our coach.”The Clippers finished fifth in the Western Conference at 44-38. They went 33-19 in games with Leonard and 24-14 in games when both Leonard and George played.
