Leonard, who has been the core of the Clippers for these years and is always regarded by fans as one of the top three hard-power superstars in the league, seems to be unable to return to his peak. In the current game against the Timberwolves, Leonard only played for 4 minutes in the third quarter before the Clippers were overwhelmed by a 0-17 run and collapsed. Subsequently, the entire team gave up resistance. And Leonard, as the team leader, chose to leave the court directly. Such behavior has sparked great controversy, as Leonard, as the leader of the Clippers, is completely irresponsible to the team. He abandoned his teammates in public and chose to leave directly.
Now fans also understand that Leonard's so-called comeback is completely exposed. He can hardly maintain a high level to continue playing. Even in the game, his attitude is not enough for him to lead the team to victory. When the team falls behind, Leonard basically makes no effort and abandons his teammates directly. The Clippers' management is also very angry with Leonard's behavior, and there are even rumors that they want to terminate the contract with Leonard directly.
Tyronn Lue seems to be completely disappointed with Leonard and doesn't want to talk too much about this disappointing superstar. He said, "We don't know when Leonard will fully recover. We will give him time to adapt slowly." This sentence clearly indicates that the Clippers will not continue to rely on Leonard to perform at his peak.
