Kawhi Leonard and Paul George served, together, in 84 games in four years for the Los Angeles Clippers. However, for coach Tyronn Lue, it is necessary to act intelligently. He knows that his athletes have suffered injuries in recent seasons, so he manages how and when he will play.
“Of course Paul George and Kawhi [Leonard] want to play,” said the Clippers coach. “But we just need to be smart, because Leonard has been 15 months long in basketball. Oh, he doesn’t want to play? So, it’s obvious that yes”.
The most complicated case is that of Leonard. Two times MVP das finais, or ala tuou in just five games in the current campaign. But when he is ready to return to the stables, as soon as he recovers from the contusion, do not turn him, he will continue in the same way as before. Ou seja, with restricted minutes and not playing two days in a row.
