Kawhi Leonard Sidelined Indefinitely Due to Knee Injury

The Los Angeles Clippers star's ongoing knee issues will keep him out as the NBA season begins.

Kawhi Leonard, 33, is dealing with inflammation in his right knee and will not play at the start of the 2024-25 NBA season.
Leonard has not participated in preseason games or on-court contact drills during training camp.
The Clippers confirmed Leonard's indefinite absence while focusing on his long-term health and potential postseason availability.
Leonard has a history of knee injuries, including a torn ACL in 2021 and a meniscus tear in 2023, limiting his playing time.
The Clippers face the Phoenix Suns on October 23 in their new arena, with James Harden expected to lead in Leonard's absence.
