Kawhi Leonard's Viral Statement After Clippers vs. Kings

Health has been the biggest issue for Kawhi Leonard and the LA Clippers for several seasons, but it has not been an issue so far this season. Leonard has missed just five games all year, and his co-star Paul George has missed just four.

Speaking with the media after Sunday night's loss to the Sacramento Kings, Leonard was asked what has gone into him being so available this season, and simply answered, "Not tearing my ACL and not earning my meniscus."

Leonard's short answer went viral on social media, with fans loving his straightforward approach. It really is that simple for Leonard, because while some have tried to paint the picture that he has been load managing the last few seasons, he was dealing with legitimate injuries that no other player could have played through.

Without any major injury issues this season, Leonard has been out there almost every single night, which has led to the Clippers being a very solid team. There is still a lot of work to be done for Leonard and the Clippers to get to the level they need to be at, but there have been some real signs of dominance from this group that hadn't been there in previous seasons.

Availability is the most important ability, and Leonard has been much more available this season than in previous years.
