Kawhi Leonard’s ACL recovery going better than expected, which means he could return this season

The Los Angeles Clippers were provided with a great update regarding one of their superstars.

According to reports, Kawhi Leonard has recovered in a rapid from offseason ACL surgery and is primed to return to action sometime this season if he continues on this trajectory.

The 30-year old had initially suffered a Torn ACL in his right knee during Game 4 of the team’s second round playoff series against the Utah Jazz back in June 2021. The injury usually takes a player at least a full calendar year before they are even game ready, which makes Leonard’s situation a surprise.

The Clippers currently sit eighth in the Western Conference with a 19-20 record.
