The Los Angeles Clippers team recently entered Disney World, Orlando, to be part of the 2019-20 season restart. However, the team was not complete because The Klaw: Kawhi Leonard were missing. Now, the Clippers star is on the way, and according to his head coach, he has no limits.

Kawhi Leonard has been a recent addition to the Los Angeles Clippers team. However, head coach Doc Rivers already seems to know how to harness the power of The Klaw well. After the NBA suspended the season, Leonard took a break to rest. And now, he’s back and feels better than ever.

Although the Clippers’ guard did not travel to Orlando with the team, due to a family matter that he needed to attend to, he has now entered Disney World and completed his mandatory quarantine procedure.

Head coach Doc Rivers told reporters a couple of days ago that Kawhi was in Orlando and was following security protocols. Rivers emphasized the fact that the team was finally complete and all of its players were healthy. He said,

“I think everyone is healthy, that’s a great thing. The boys weren’t that healthy at training camp earlier this year. Now we have Paul George healthy, we have Kawhi healthy, we don’t have a wounded man right now. I knock on wood. I hope that continues.

Kawhi Leonard confirmed the same during his recent availability in the media, when he told reporters that he felt good. He had been struggling with an old knee injury when the NBA suspended all operations due to COVID-19.

“I mean, I feel good, you know.” he said.

“I was able to train, get stronger, and prepare for this moment now that we are. It’s about to be the first practice today, so I’m excited.”

“Everyone knows his body and knows what to do, so I mean, it will be my first practice today, so we will go out and see how I feel and then we will continue from there, we will continue building. of that. But no one knows.

However, Doc Rivers is not the one Kawhi uses all at once. Speaking about his plans to use Leonard in all eight qualifying games before the postseason, the Clippers’ 58-year-old head coach said:

“I do not know yet. But without limits. Kawhi is healthy for the most part. That still doesn’t mean we don’t want to keep him up and take him to the first eight games and get ready for the playoffs. We want to be smart about it. “

Kawhi will soon be joining the Clippers to practice. Hopefully, the NBA community hears something about how it’s going. Now that, according to Rivers, Paul George and Kawhi, both considered the Clippers’ star players, have recovered from their injuries, we hope to see the Clippers really fight for the Championship title this season.
