INGLEWOOD, Calif -- Days after Kawhi Leonard sidestepped a question about his future, LA Clippers president of basketball operations Lawrence Frank reaffirmed the team's commitment to Leonard long-term at his end-of-season news conference Friday.
"Our plan is to win with Kawhi," Frank said. "We obviously showed as an organization that we want to continue and we are driven to win. So, at the appropriate time, we'll sit down with Kawhi, and very similar to 2024, lay out our plan. And if our goals are aligned, then we'd like to win with Kawhi."
When asked about his future following the Clippers' loss to the Warriors in the play-in Wednesday, Leonard was mum. "Let me cry about this loss a little bit more," Leonard said. "We'll have our discussions when that time comes."
