It’s no surprise that the Los Angeles Clippers’ chances of making the NBA Finals took a significant hit with Paul George’s move to the Philadelphia 76ers. George was a crucial anchor for the team, especially when Kawhi Leonard was sidelined with injuries.

George’s departure leaves a considerable gap in the Clippers’ roster as he was instrumental in both their offensive and defensive strategies. Despite their plans to team up and win a championship, injuries have thwarted their potential success together.

Leonard acknowledges that his injuries have cost the duo a chance to win, but he remains focused on leading the Clippers next season. He also shared his thoughts on George’s decision to seek a new opportunity.

Kawhi Leonard is ‘fine’ with Paul George leaving the Los Angeles Clippers
Known for his reserved nature, Leonard kept his response brief when asked about his former teammate joining Joel Embiid in the Eastern Conference for a shot at his first NBA championship.

When the press questioned him about George’s departure, Leonard’s reply was succinct and left little room for interpretation.

Per Fadeaway World’s Aaditya Krishnamurthy:

“I don’t have a problem with [Paul George] leaving.”

Given Leonard’s typically reserved demeanor, it’s challenging to fully grasp his feelings about George’s departure. However, as a seasoned player, Leonard understands that not everything goes as planned in the NBA. Only one team can win the title, and their partnership didn’t yield the expected results.

Leonard has proven he can carry a team on his own. Last season, the 33-year-old averaged 23.7 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 3.6 assists per game. His successful stint in Toronto showed he can lead a team to a championship, so it’s not far-fetched to believe he can do it again in LA.

Whether he can replicate that success remains to be seen.
