    This is from a Clippers beat writer for the LA Times.

    Cliff notes:

    Lawrence Frank calls procedure a major surgery begetting a recovery “that’s going to require a great deal of time”. With the amount of time currently unanswerable.

    Leonard, of course, is expected to miss a significant amount of next season, possibly all of it.

    Post season begins 9 months after Leonard’s surgery, Alan Beyer the executive medical director at Orange County Hoag Orthopedic Institute says “In Kawhi’s case it will be a little less than a year, which is very doable” “No two players are alike, so some would take 7 or 8 months to come back. With the caliber of these players I would not rush. But I certainly would give him the full 9 to 10 months at least before I’d expect to see him back”.

    Because of Kawhi’s privacy it is not known whether Leonard underwent a standard full ACL reconstruction or some other far less common partial repair. Other variables will include his response to surgery, atrophy seen in his quad or thigh, and whether the injury involved multiple ligaments. First answers to his progress likely won’t be seen for months.

    Most of this article just feels like it’s setting up for him being out longer than what others might be. They cited Dinwiddie’s recovery being on the quick side as well.

    It's Kawhi, so I'd bet on the longest possible time for him to get back. And him going straight into the playoff with zero buildup/management seems highly unlikely.

      I kind of hope he can get another chance.

        Yeah, having lived through the Derrick Rose here in Chicago it gave me the perspective to not question guys and their recoveries with these injuries. This isn't 2K and everybody isn't just on some generic timetable for recovery that you say this takes 6-7 months to heal from and then you're all back at that same timeframe or so and so recovered from this same thing at this time so this person should only need the same time. These guys know their bodies the same way we all know what we're feeling or not feeling in our own.

        They tried to force Rose back before he was ready, even going so far as to leak to the media that he'd been medically cleared (by team doctors mind you) to return allowing him to get vilified in the city by a large portion of the fanbase as if he was quitting on the team and turning his back on his team. Meanwhile he knew what he was talking about. Because he came back the following season, played 10 games and tore his meniscus. He hasn't been the same since. Despite all the excitement he brought and as good as he was, people have made sure they've gotten off their DRose injury jokes and making fun of him for being hurt in the time since. So players absolutely should take all the time they need to come back from their injuries and not let these teams and certainly not these fake, fickle fans pressure them to do anything they don't feel 100% comfortable with.

          Nobody(IE me since I’m the only one who brought it up)did this though.

          I questioned how folks(cima and OJ, which he cleared up on his half)automatically came to the conclusion that he was going to be out for the year with a torn ACL when every report that came out(pre and post surgery)was that it was partially torn ACL and there was nothing official to suggest he’s out all of next season.

          Just to clarify, I’m not questioning the player at all, I’m questioning the people HERE. Dassit.

            No doubt. I’m just speaking in general. Not saying you or anybody else going there.

              Random, but speaking of injuries I still can’t believe Shaun Livingston came back and had a career at all much less being as productive as he was. That midrange game he developed late with GS was perfection.

                So where the hell did this move come from?

                Woj: The Clippers are trading G Patrick Beverley, Rajon Rondo and Daniel Oturu to Memphis for Eric Bledsoe

                    Same feeling here. Unless I'm missing something. Guessing Buy out? I don't even know what Eric brings to the Clippers. Second trip didn't hurt.

                      Extra weird move for Memphis.... I’ll be super surprised if Rondo even remains on the team.

                      I actually like the move for the Clippers. I don’t think Pat Bev was a good fit with the PG+Kawhi duo from the jump.

                        Unpopular opinion I guess but I think Bledsoe is better at literally every aspect of basketball in comparison to Pat Bev. Maybe not free throw shooting, I’m not gonna look up the numbers to check but I can’t imagine Pat even gets to the line enough for that to matter.

                            No I agree with you. It's just fit wise I don't know. Eric shooting has improved. But I'd like to see it on the playoffs stage before I give him the pass.
