Kawhi Leonard's Injury Status Remains Uncertain Amidst Trade Rumors Linking Him to the Houston Rockets

Los Angeles Clippers star Kawhi Leonard is still dealing with a lingering knee injury, and his status for the upcoming season remains uncertain.

Leonard has not played since Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Utah Jazz, and there is no timetable for his return. The Clippers have been cautious with Leonard's recovery, as they do not want to risk further aggravating his injury.

Amidst the uncertainty surrounding Leonard's injury, there have been rumors that the Clippers could trade him to the Houston Rockets. The Rockets are reportedly interested in acquiring Leonard, and they have a package of young players and draft picks that they could offer the Clippers.

However, the Clippers are reportedly reluctant to trade Leonard, and they are hoping that he will be able to return to the court soon. Leonard is one of the best players in the NBA, and he is a key part of the Clippers' championship aspirations.

If Leonard is traded to the Rockets, it would be a major shakeup in the NBA landscape. The Rockets would become instant contenders for the championship, while the Clippers would be left with a huge hole in their roster.

It remains to be seen whether or not Leonard will be traded, but the rumors are certainly swirling. The NBA trade deadline is February 10th, so there is still time for a deal to be made.
