The LA Clippers will be without Kawhi Leonard for the entire NBA preseason. Leonard missed the last eight games of the 2023-24 regular season before making just two appearances in the playoffs.

This was the fourth-straight season Leonard was sidelined due to injury when the Clippers were eliminated. Leonard’s right knee was the cause of each absence, and it is again was has him sidelined now.

The Clippers are having Leonard focus on strengthening his knee in training camp, and head coach Ty Lue told reporters on Monday that his star forward will not play in the preseason finale on Thursday.

Lue has been experimenting with different starting lineups throughout preseason, and revealed what group he is sticking with in Leonard’s absence.

Per Lue, his starters right now are James Harden, Terrance Mann, Norman Powell, Derrick Jones Jr., and Ivica Zubac.
