Clippers' Kawhi Leonard, Paul George entering camp 'fully healthy' - ESPN

PLAYA VISTA, Calif. — LA Clippers stars Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are «fully healthy» entering next week's training camp in Hawaii, according to Lawrence Frank, the team's president of basketball operations.

Leonard played in the first two games of the Clippers' first-round playoff loss to the Phoenix Suns before being sidelined with a torn right meniscus. He underwent a cleanup procedure on the meniscus on June 6. George is fully recovered from a right knee sprain that kept him out of the first round.

«Both are fully healthy,» Frank said at the team facility on Wednesday. «I think both have had extremely productive offseasons, and obviously our two best players are totally invested in doing special things for the Clippers. They show it with their actions, so I think we're really excited that they're both fully healthy and will be full participants in camp.»

Frank also said there have been discussions with the two Clippers' franchise players concerning contract extensions. Both stars, who grew up near Los Angeles and wanted to play here, each have $48-million player options for the 2024-25 season and are eligible to sign four-year extensions worth up to $223 million each according to ESPN's Bobby Marks.

«We're still trying to maximize Kawhi and PG's window and take advantage of it,» Frank said. «We've had consistent ongoing conversations with both of them [since they were extension eligible] and their representatives, and at the appropriate time we're hopeful that they remain Clippers.»

Frank added: «Hopefully we've created an environment where not only guys want to come, they want to stay. And we have a pretty good track record of being able to keep guys. So it will be a process and we'll just be candid with each
