The goal, Kawhi Leonard said Monday at the Clippers’ media day at Intuit Dome, is to play in the team’s regular-season opener against the Phoenix Suns on Oct. 23 in Inglewood.
Leonard continues to deal with inflammation in his surgically repaired right knee, leading some uncertainty about when he’ll be healthy enough to play, especially after reports of him having procedures on the knee over the summer.
The Clippers plan is to limit Leonard’s activity in training camp, which starts Tuesday in Hawaii.
