The 2021-22 NBA season was not one of great health or continuity for the LA Clippers. After all, superstar forward Kawhi Leonard missed the entire year while his running mate, Paul George, only played in 31 of the 82 regular season games. Because of that, ESPN happens to think that L.A.’s “little brother” will have the biggest turnaround in the league in 2022-23.
In a recent exclusive interview with AllClippers at the 9th Annual Cedric The Entertainer Celebrity Golf Classic, Los Angeles Lakers champion Derek Fisher revealed a unique comparison for the LA Clippers and Boston Celtics. "I think that Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, the combination of those two guys - when you think about what the Boston Celtics were able to do with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown as that kind of duo, Kawhi and Paul George are the grown man version of those two guys," Fisher said.
With the way that the offseason has unfolded for the LA Clippers, they’re currently sitting with an open roster spot as they head towards the beginning of training camp in September. That open roster spot could come into play as the team currently only has one true center on the roster: the recently-signed-to-an-extension Ivica Zubac. The three-year deal for Zubac means the Clippers have their starting center position sewn up for the foreseeable future, but the backup spot remains free.
