Kawhi Leonard’s tenure with the Clippers has been marred by numerous injuries, and his status for the 2024-2025 season remains in doubt.
As the organization plays its opening season in the newly completed Intuit Dome, a new complication has arisen: A lawsuit filed Thursday by a former trainer alleges unsafe treatment of the franchise’s star player.
Randy Shelton was the strength and conditioning coach at San Diego State University, and worked closely with Leonard during the player’s time with the Aztecs.

The lawsuit says the Clippers began their pursuit of Kawhi Leonard — using Shelton as an intermediary — in 2017, years before Leonard would eventually join the team.
