The Los Angeles Clippers still believe in a team led by the tandem of James Harden and Kawhi Leonard. Following the Clippers first-round series loss to the Denver Nuggets, Clippers president Lawrence Frank expressed that "I definitely believe in those two," about Harden and Leonard as the team's leaders on a potential championship team.

Harden didn't stick around to talk to the media after the game as his streaks of bad performances in the playoffs continued.

Kawhi Leonard is healthy going into the offseason for the first time since 2020. He played just 37 games before the Los Angeles Clippers lost in the first round of the playoffs.
