Kawhi Leonard Sends Worrying Message About Clippers' Future After Playoff Loss

The Los Angeles Clippers fell in a 120-101 loss in Game 7 of their first-round series against the Denver Nuggets, being eliminated from the 2025 NBA playoffs despite holding 2-1 and 3-2 leads.

Despite many encouraging signs, the Clippers shrank when the lights were at their brightest and will head into an uncertain offseason. 

The Clippers can't blame injuries this time around, as Kawhi Leonard and James Harden both played all seven games without limitations. Despite that, the star duo will have to accept a second straight first-round exit.

That begs the question: What's next for this duo?

Kawhi was asked the same in his postgame press conference, sharing a message rife with uncertainty about his future.

“I don’t know right now," Leonard said. "I guess we’re still playing at a high level, in a sense. But that’s a hard question to answer right now.”
