Los Angeles Clippers star Kawhi Leonard underwent a procedure on his injured
right knee in early June, President of Basketball Operations Lawrence Frank
announced on Thursday night following the 2023 NBA Draft.
Leonard is expected to make a full recovery from the operation deemed a ‘
clean up' procedure and is expected to be ready for the start of training
camp.
“He had a clean up procedure done at the beginning of June, right around
June 6th,” Lawrence Frank said. “Just a clean-up, went terrific, a very,
very quick procedure. He feels great. Talking with him, he feels great. It's
an eight week recovery from the time of surgery where you're back on the
court playing like if ti was a game. But yeah, we're very fortunate that it
was a quick little clean up.
When asked if he expects Kawhi Leonard to be ready for Clippers training camp
in October, Frank responded with, “100 percent, yes.”
洛杉磯快艇球星Kawhi Leonard在六月初對他受傷的膝蓋進行治療。快艇籃球營運總裁
Lawrence Frank於星期四選秀會結束後的晚間宣布。
Leonard已經準備要從"清理程序"中完全恢復並預期可以趕上訓練營。
Frank說:「他在六月初就已經完成這個程序，6月6號左右吧。就只是清理而已，非常的快
速。他的感覺很好。跟他談話後他也感覺很好。從手術後的恢復到上場打球需要約八個禮
拜。他只需要這樣的小手術我們很幸運。」
當Frank被問到Kawhi能不能在10月的快艇訓練營復出，Frank回應:「100%，對。」
Leonard played 52 games in the 2022-23 season, and closed out the second half
of the year strong after missing a month due to knee inflammation to start
the year.
Paul George also missed games alongside Kawhi Leonard due to a left knee
sprain suffered in mid-March against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He's also
expected to be ready for training camp.
The Clippers, according to Lawrence Frank, still want to continue building
around Kawhi Leonard and Paul George entering potentially the last years of
their deals.
Leonard於2022-23球季一共出戰了52場，並以強勢的表現幾乎打滿了下半季(上半季主要因
為膝蓋發炎缺席一個月至年初)。
Paul George也如同Kawhi Leonard一般因為三月中與奧克拉荷馬雷霆的比賽中扭傷膝蓋而
缺陣。他也預期在訓練營時可以回歸。
根據Frank表示，快艇仍希望圍繞今年可能是合約最後一年的Kawhi Leonard與Paul George
建隊。
“Yes, that's still the plan,” Frank said. “What we're tryin to do is how
can we put together hte best team around these guys. We look at the different
things, what worked, what hasn't worked, the job that we have to do better,
the job that we challenge our players to continue to do better. We're trying
to maximize these two and figure out ways that we can better.”
In 52 appearances for the Clippers last season, Kawhi Leonard averaged 23.8
points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.9 assists, and 1.4 steals per game on 51.2 percent
shooting from the field and 41.6 percent from three.
Frank表示:「是的，這仍然是我們的計畫。我們想要嘗試圍繞他們組建最強的球隊。我們
觀察了很多面向，無論是甚麼是成功的還是失敗的，無論是我們有做好的地方或是我們要
求球員要做更好的地方。我們試圖最大化這兩位球星並尋找能讓我們變更好的方式。」

因為續約對話的關係有很多流言，但我們喜歡Ty。他有著不是很多教練所擁有的天賦。」

Lawrence Frank on if Russell Westbrook is a priority for the Clippers:
"Very much so. But he's a free agent. He gets to choose... We want Russ back
but also recognize that he has the right to choose."
談到Russell Westbrook與快艇續約的優先度時，Frank表示:「優先度非常高。但他是自由
球員。他是能選擇的一方...我們希望Russ回來但也知道他有選擇的權利。」
