NBA teams are also preparing for the upcoming draft, so with no shortage of news and rumors around the league – here is everything you need to know for April 28th.
Doc Rivers full of praise for his Clippers team
The Los Angeles Clippers exited the playoffs on Friday as they lost 129-110 to the Golden State Warriors. Many had expected the Clippers to get swept by the two-time defending champions, however, Doc Rivers’ starless team were able to almost push Steve Kerr’s men all the way – and Rivers is full of praise for his team:
The Clippers will be looking to build on their excellent 18/19 season this summer as they target two superstar free-agents. Kawhi Leonard is among the names being backed to join the team.
Clippers have the upper hand to sign Kawhi Leonard
Over recent months, Kawhi Leonard has been linked with both the Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers, although Paolo Uggetti of The Ringer is reporting that the Clippers hold the advantage when it comes to signing the All-Star:
Following a dispute with the San Antonio Spurs, Leonard joined the Raptors last summer. Nevertheless, despite impressing during his time in Toronto, the All-Star is believed to want a return to his native Los Angeles.
Steph Curry and Klay Thompson questionable for Game 1
Stephen Curry turned his right ankle during the early stages of the Warriors’ series-clinching win over the LA Clippers on Friday – and head coach Steve Kerr has cast doubt on Curry’s participation against the Rockets tonight:
Klay Thompson is also a doubt due to an ankle injury that he suffered in the same game.
