On January 11th, Beijing time, three pieces of news about the Los Angeles Clippers have emerged. Let's take a look. Kawhi Leonard Returns Successfully Recently, due to the wildfires in Southern California, countless buildings have been destroyed and hundreds of thousands of people have been forced to evacuate, including the family of Clippers star Kawhi Leonard. The day before yesterday, according to Chris Haynes, Leonard took leave from the Clippers to accompany his family who were evacuated due to the wildfires and missed the last game against the Denver Nuggets. Yesterday, according to TMZ, Leonard's family was unharmed, and even more fortunately, his $17 million mansion located in the worst-hit area of the wildfires remained intact. Today, according to multiple Clippers reporters, Leonard has returned to the team and participated in full training. He has also been removed from the injury list and can participate in future games. For the Clippers, Leonard's timely return is undoubtedly an uplifting message. On one hand, the Clippers have had a poor record recently, losing four out of their last five games, and they need their core player Leonard to stabilize morale; on the other hand, Leonard just returned from a knee injury not long ago and needs to quickly regain his form through competitive play. The Clippers' next four opponents include three teams at the bottom of the league standings, providing Leonard with a good opportunity to find confidence and a sense of presence on both offense and defense. A 3-for-1 Trade Proposal Emerges In the last game where the Clippers lost 103:126…

The NBA regular season continues with the game between the Nuggets and the Hawks. Before the game, almost all fans predicted that the Nuggets would easily win, given the disparity in strength between the two teams. As expected, after the game started, the Nuggets quickly took control of the court, dominating both offensively and defensively. Ultimately, after four quarters of play, the Nuggets easily defeated the Hawks 139-120. However, despite the Hawks' loss, Trae Young put on an impressive performance. In the entire game, Young played for 30 minutes, shooting 8 for 17, including 4 for 10 from three-point range and 10 for 12 from the free-throw line, scoring 30 points, 4 rebounds, and 9 assists. Whether it was personal offense or organizing the team, Young did everything he could, leaving the Nuggets with no solution. Some fans might ask, if Young performed so well, why did the Hawks still lose the game? The answer is quite simple: the Nuggets' Westbrook and Jokic were simply outstanding. I'm not sure how everyone evaluates these two players, but my evaluation is very straightforward: "Westbrook, still Megatron! 6 shots for 16+11 to become the team's offensive brain, Capela is beaten into a toy." This phrase couldn't be more fitting. First, let's talk about Jokic. In this game, Jokic played for 29 minutes, shooting 8 for 16 and making all 6 free throws, scoring 23 points, 17 rebounds, and 15 assists. On the court, Jokic was truly at ease, doing whatever he wanted. Offensively, against Capela's defense, Jokic could score however he wanted, whether…
