Kawhi Leonard Reacts To Playing First Back-To-Back Set In Over 1300 Days

Last night, the Los Angeles Clippers played their second game of a back-to-back set against the Warriors, and Kawhi Leonard played.

Why is this worth mentioning, you ask?!? Well, for the first time since 2017, Kawhi Leonard played both of his team’s back-to-back games. The last time Leonard did so was when he still was with the San Antonio Spurs, more than 1300 days ago.

After the game, when asked about him playing back-to-backs and if he will play in more for the rest of the season, Leonard said:

“I think I’ll be playing. The last few years I was injured, working on getting my legs stronger. Been a long time, but I am able to play… my body is prepared. I felt good.”
