Tyronn Lue mentioned in his pre-match interview that Kalenard will not be able to participate in today's match due to a hip injuryThe Hornetsof the game. His injury is still under daily observation and he is not yet back to playing. This absence gives us a look back at where Kalenard wasClippersInjuries suffered in the past few years.
During his time with the Spurs in 2017, Kaleonard suffered an injury due to Patuglia's malicious footsteps, which caused huge problems in his career. In 2019, he also suffered a knee injury, but he persevered and managed to help the team win the championship, but this injury caused significant damage to his knee.
I joined in 2020ClippersLater, Kaleonard encountered another ordeal. InRiversWhistle brother Hyrel was in the middle of the show, he was injured again and missed some time of the game. However, in the 2021 playoffs, he was hit by Ingles' knee while facing the Jazz, causing his previous injury to be re-injured and forced to write out the remainder of the game.
Heading into the 2022 playoffs, Kaleonard suffered another knee injury, this time against himSunsof the competition. Such injuries are forClippersIt's a huge blow. Just before the 2023 regular season ended, Kaleonard entered playoff mode early, but unfortunately he was injured again against the Mavericks.
Overall, in the four years that Kalenard and Paul George have been together, they have only played 128 games and have a whopping 70 win percentage. Although the win rate is very high, the number of times they have combined is too small due to injury problems. This prevents the team from performing as well as they would like to play in those four years, or even guarantee that they will make it to the playoffs, or that they will be able to continue in the playoffs for a long time.
Looking back on the injury situation over the years, one can't help but wonder about Kalenard andClippersThe team is sorry. Kaleonard is one of the top players in the league, and his injury problems have been limiting his performance and the development of the team. At the same time, it also gives other teams a chance that they may be able to get something like that through a tradeHardenWei Shao, or a top star like Kaleonard to further enhance the team's strength. For example, willHardenSend toSuns, withDurant, Booker to form the Big Three, or JeanWei ShaoJoined the Nuggets as a backup leader and rejuvenated the new year. Or, trade Kaleonard to the Lakers to form the Big Three of Lao Zhan, Thick Eyebrows and Kaleonard. Another option is for George to join the Timberwolves or the Mavericks, which could result in four teams with top stars, and one of them could win a championship this year.
In any case, the situation is still not optimistic for Kalenard. Injuries over the past few years have had a big impact on his career development, whileClippersThe team also paid a big price for it. For the fans, it may be time to lower their expectations for this season's performance. Hopefully Kalenard will be able to ** sooner rather than later and show his true quality in future matches.
