Los Angeles Clippers star Kawhi Leonard had high praise for the Golden State Warriors ahead of Wednesday’s Play-In Tournament matchup.
Leonard knows the organization quite well, as the 14-year forward has spent plenty of time as their opponent. Leonard battled the Warriors in the playoffs as a member of the San Antonio Spurs and in the 2019 NBA Finals as a member of the Toronto Raptors.
“He’s (Curry) one of the greatest players to play this game,” Leonard said. “Even if it’s just a pickup game, just being able to share the floor with a player like that, being coached by Steve Kerr, also playing with Draymond, that unit over there of championship pedigree. It’s a great opportunity. You can’t take it for granted.”
Leonard and the Clippers enter the game as slight favorites, having taken the season series 3-1.
