That's just really, really shocking. He usually just plays right through the pain. I'm heartbroken for him because I know how much he really wants to be out there. It's so unfortunate when bad things happen to good people.
BTW... other than him winning a ring in Toronto (which they would have never won if the W's were healthy), this is what Kawhi's post-San Antonio career looks like:
2020 played 57 games in the bubble season. Blew 3-1 lead to the Nuggets.
2021 played 52 games, got hurt in round 2 of the playoffs
2022 missed entire season
2023 played 52 games and knowing him, is probably done for the season.
For that, he has been paid $148,958,492. The Clippers are going to pay out $142,000,000 in luxury tax this season, paid $81,000,000 last year and $83,000,000 the year before that. For those of you keeping score at home, that comes out to right at $455,000,000 between KL and lux tax. You could hire four Jimbo Fishers for that. They've won 18 total playoff games over that period.
