The LA Clippers may not be the Western Conference favorite this season like they were last season, but many still have high hopes in their coach Ty Lue. Among those are the NBA GMs all around the league.

The Clippers had a veteran roster with a majority of players returning for the 2023-24 season. This training camp is different with six players 25 or younger.

Lue says the last time he had to teach this much was the 2021-22 season, when Kawhi Leonard was out after having ACL surgery and fellow All-Star Paul George missed all but 31 games.

Heading into this season, everyone is concerned about LA Clippers superstar Kawhi Leonard's knee. Leonard had an off-season procedure on his knee, and inflammation after the operation kept him out of the Paris Olympics.

Los Angeles Clippers superstar forward Kawhi Leonard says his knee feels fine after the team's first preseason game.

I asked Leonard which Clippers stood out to him in this first week of training camp practices in Hawaii. For fans and media used to standard platitudes and fluff from players in scrums, it can be eye-opening to hear Leonard say that “nobody stood out to me so far.
