Los Angeles Clippers coach Tyronn Lue recently said in a podcast interview that as long as the players can stay healthy, his team will have a chance to achieve breakthrough results in the new NBA season.

With the return of Chris Paul, Brook Lopez, Bradley Beal and John Collins also joined the Los Angeles Clippers in July, which made fans look forward to what kind of performance the Los Angeles Clippers will bring in the new NBA season.

Los Angeles Clippers coach Tyronn Lue said, "I think the most important thing for us is that our players stay healthy. At the beginning of last season, our core players were out due to injuries. When players are injured, the team has to play a completely different style of basketball until these players return, and this does take a toll on us."

"If our guys can stay healthy for most of the season, then I think we have a chance to do something special," Tyronn Lue said.

In addition, the 34-year-old Kawhi Leonard has been suffering from injuries and can only play 37 games for the Los Angeles Clippers in the 2024/25 NBA regular season. He averaged 21.5 points per game, a shooting percentage of 49.8%, and a 3-point shooting percentage of 41.1%.

When talking about Kawhi Leonard, Tyronn Lue said, "I feel sorry for Kawhi Leonard, because we see how much effort he puts in every day, and how much effort he puts in to be able to play regularly. Being able to play in the game is already a difficult persistence. He is not the kind of person who just wants to sit on the bench or be absent."

"He works hard every day just to be able to play some minutes. Many times it's us and the medical team who make the decisions. We have to protect him because sometimes he wants to play continuously. But from the problem point of view, we have to protect him from getting injured again."
