The Clippers faced the Nuggets in a game where it was evident that the team members were somewhat distracted. This was because their team leader, Leonard, once again missed the game. This left fans speechless as they saw Leonard absent during the match.
According to the Clippers, Leonard's absence was due to personal reasons. A fire broke out in Los Angeles, and Leonard stated that he wanted to return home to be with his family. He was unable to participate in the game, which left everyone speechless, especially since Leonard had only just returned to play two games. Now, he was missing another game due to personal issues.
As a team leader, this decision seriously raised doubts about his professional attitude. This is not all; there is now significant infighting within the Clippers. Players are dissatisfied that Leonard, who receives the highest salary in the team, often does not participate in games. Instead, these supporting players work hard every day, enduring criticism from fans for poor performance, while Leonard, who should be giving his all for the team, has not stepped up.
This also explains why the Spurs chose to give up on him years ago. As a superstar, Leonard has significant personality issues. He frequently causes conflicts with the team and likes to operate behind the team's back. This led the Spurs, who nurtured him, to choose to let him go in the past. Now, the Clippers have suffered the consequences and can only silently accept this outcome.
