Clippers Face Lawsuit Over Alleged Mishandling of Kawhi Leonard's Injuries

Former trainer Randy Shelton claims wrongful termination and unsafe treatment practices in a new lawsuit against the LA Clippers.

Kawhi Leonard's former trainer, Randy Shelton, has filed a lawsuit against the LA Clippers, alleging wrongful termination and unsafe treatment of Leonard's injuries.
Shelton's lawsuit accuses the Clippers of forcing Leonard to play through severe injuries, including an ACL tear and concussion, without adequate recovery time.
Claims in the lawsuit suggest the Clippers engaged in tampering to recruit Leonard, violating NBA rules by seeking his health information while he was with the Spurs.
The Clippers deny all allegations, stating that Shelton's claims were investigated and found to be without merit, asserting that they honored his employment contract.
Leonard remains sidelined indefinitely with knee inflammation, adding to the team's challenges as they start the 2024-2025 NBA season.
