On NBA Today, Brian Windhorst says that Kawhi Leonard doesn’t look good when he’s on the floor since his return and questions what the Clippers will do to get him back 100 percent for later this season. Kendrick Perkins then joins the conversation to discuss how Los Angeles has managed the roster.

We don’t wanna hear from you either Perkins
Every time Brian Windhorst makes a statement it sounds like an epic and serious announcement. Like he’d be great at breaking news on nbc.
NBA has gotten bad with sit outs. When I watch a game I expect at least 2-3 stars or starters from the teams to not be playing which usually makes for an unbalanced and uninteresting game so I usually just turn it off.
Like … like … like uhhh like … like – Kendrick Perkins is a wordsmith,a real poet
Perk's take on this one is a good one.
AD STEP ON JOKIC FOOT YALL TALK DAT TO DEATH AD LBJ GET HURT THAT YALL ARE CONCERNED
Whats the point of the blonde in the middle? She doesnt know what shes talking about
How many times did Perk say “like” smh
The problem isn't the low management for me the issue is the regular season. The NBA needs to reform that
Kawhi deliberately ruined the back end of his own career
Thank you PERK!!
Dunno why but it feels like Zaza is behind all the issues he's facing right now.
It seems to me that Kawhi has not fully recovered, I am still lacking in the performance he is showing. I hope the old Kawhi, the Kawhi in the Spurs, is back.
Please remove Perkins from tv
Looks like Windy has been working out again
They doing all this load management to get eliminated in the 1st round. I agree with Perk just go out and hoop.
that is why i think there will be lockout next season because of what perk just said.
He won't be the same after that acl tear he's done he won't hit his peak
All these guys are just collecting a check. Holding up the line for the next hungry dog
He is not lying…
Idk what his eyes looking or y’all in the comments 😂😂 eye test show Kawhi is that dude offensively and defensively. He average 30+ 8 and 5 on 57% shooting last playoff run he was in and this season eye test show he still kawhi
every 40-50 million dollar contract should come with a clause that the money is only available at full value if the player completes 65–70 games during each year of their deal. example: if the player has a 4 year valued at like 40 million a year, if in the first year he plays 65-70 he gets the full years worth, if year two he plays 55 he loses 15% of his contracts worth, and if he load maanges to only playing half the season he loses 30% of his deal for that year. availability is a lost art in todays game. the medicine, nutrition, technology has evolved at such a great rate but players do not want to take care of their bodies at the same rate and should be penalized for it. players in the 90's, early 2000's, late 2000's, 80's, 70's never complained about too long of a season and didnt break down like these younger guys are now so that can only point to them not taking care of their bodies as they should. stop with this "we want them to be at their best during the playoffs" well they should take care of their bodies at the highest level rather than have special day off rules made for them
Reminds me of Brandon Roy a lil bit except Kawhi won rings and was a much better defender
Load management is great but when you take it as far as Kawhi has it doesn’t just help nurse injuries but it takes momentum away from your team and could also takeaway from team chemistry. I guarantee you there’s someone on the team who’s pissed he has this much power.
I think he has some sort of Brandon Roy kind of issue.
I think they should move on from him it's just not working 4yrs no championship 😕
They’ve been load managing for 4 years and have nothing to show for it. They also have the highest payroll in the NBA. Such a waste of money, time, and talent. I think they need to start thinking about rebuilding because they will never win a championship with Kawhi and PG. Imagine being a season ticket holder for the clippers these past 4 years.
Good to see Becky!
What people don't know about the recovery from the ACL injuries it's that it isn't just about strength and conditioning work…The undamaged ACL has alot of senors(nerves) that the brain Uses to know how much the knee is bent during movement, and when the ACL is ruptured the brain no longer has access to that information….which means the brain has learn to use and move the repaired knee based on signales from the other knee to start off….which means the brain needs time to fully get used to this reconstructed body part….which is what Kawhi was referring to when said it takes 2 years to recover
And then Kawhi drops 31 pts and 9 rebs on the Wizards. Windhorst should be the last person to comment on how an athlete “looks”.
full of BS
🤡🤡🤡
31 points in his most recent game. Took over the game in the fourth quarter.
Windhorst spoke too soon.
1 day later: Kawhi drops 31 points, 9 rebounds, 3 steals
Scored 31 today lol.
She smarter than all them 🤦🏾♂️
Brian is 100% right. I been thinking the same thing about Kawhi honestly.
Nobody :
Perk : Like , Like , Like.????
How much longer will people be talking about kawhi and pg when they're nothing the last 3 full years
Bro needs to look at his weight management lol
he just dropped 31 pts ..
Perk said like more times than Kawhi has played games for the Clippers.
Lol he been like this for 3 4 years
Yet somehow y'all still think this team gonna do something 🤣🤣🤣
Just came back after the Clippers vs Wizards where Kawhi got 31pts and took over in the 4th.
This doesn't age well. He just had 31 points against the Wizards earlier and looked the old version of himself. Only proves these dudes don't know what they are saying. And he's gonna get even better as the season continues 🙂
