Guess who’s back? Back again? Why, Kawhi of course. The Clippers have closed the phone book on the 213 era, but for them, it’s still Kawhi Leonard, on loop. Basketball excellence with a bad knee, potentially historic upside in a heartbreakingly uncooperative body.

Earlier this month, Kawhi Leonard officially returned to practice, and head coach Tyronn Lue planned to bring him along slowly.

Norman Powell scored 20 points, Kawhi Leonard added 12 in his first game of the season and the Los Angeles Clippers rolled to a 131-105 victory over the Atlanta Hawks.
