Is Draymond Green a top-10 player?

LA Clippers coach Ty Lue gave a positive update on Kawhi Leonard before Friday’s game in Minnesota. Leonard has missed the entire season to this point, as he’s recovering from offseason knee surgery.

“He’s progressing well. He’s been able to get on the court and do some things on the court, which is good for us,” Lue said about Leonard. “So just still checking every box, making sure that he’s doing the right things and his workouts are really good and making sure we don’t let him get to the next step until he checks those boxes, so our medical staff has done a great job with that, making sure that we make sure he’s 100% when he comes back.”

Leonard played in 68 games last season for the Clippers. The star forward put together a terrific all-around season. However, Leonard was limited to playing in just two of LA’s playoff games, as they fell to the Dallas Mavericks in six games in the first round.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have agreed to convert Jaylen Clark to a standard fully guaranteed two-year contract. Clark entered the Wolves’ rotation on January 29th and has averaged 6.9 points and 1.7 reboudns in 11 February games.

Clark was a second round pick by the Wolves in 2023 and missed the entire 23-24 season due to a torn Achilles tendon.

Clark is represented by Todd Ramasar.
