Kawhi Leonard hinted at his upcoming return in a cryptic social media post
L.A. Clippers superstar Kawhi Leonard shocked basketball fans with a surprising social media post on Friday afternoon.
Leonard, who has not played for the Clippers yet this season, had a sudden and unexpected tweet. The video, which doubles as an ad for New Balance, shows Leonard listening to a voicemail from a manager-type. She is asking the basketball player to provide answers about his return to the court.
He then approaches a second version of himself, who is sitting alone while fishing. The other Leonard is listening to a sports radio broadcaster, who is announcing news that a potential return is imminent.

In the video, the fishing version of Leonard tells the original version:
"There's been good days, there's been bad days. But I keep coming back. It's the nature of the game."
For the caption of this admittedly very cool video, Leonard added: "The lips of wisdom are closed, except to the ears of understanding."
Leonard, who missed all of the 2024 postseason and the Olympics, remains out at least four more games.
He could potentially return on January 4 against the Hawks at the earliest. While there is still no timeline for his return, he is practicing again and is participating in five-on-five scrimmages.
