"Who the Hell Names Their Kid ‘Kawhi’?”: Charles Barkley Once Needed $100 to Not Say ‘Kwame’ Leonard

Kawhi Leonard is starting to catch the NBA community’s wrath, after countless years of hiding behind Anthony Davis’s shadow. You see, the Clippers star’s injury history may not be as bad as the Brow’s, but his time missed, due to ‘load management’ is far worse.

Now, it’s understandable to miss a few games to help keep the body healthy. However, Kawhi Leonard has hardly played for the Clippers this season, showing time in just 5 contests. All while he has mostly been healthy.

If LA wants to win a championship, it won’t happen like this. And that’s something Charles Barkley couldn’t help but talk about on the latest episode of Inside the NBA.

Suffice it to say, you’re going to want to see this.

Charles Barkley calls out Kawhi Leonard and Paul George for missing time again

A championship team needs a heap of some of the best players in the league in their role to achieve the all-important ring. However, what they perhaps need more, is in-game reps, and actual chemistry, as Chuck divulged on Inside the NBA.

Take a look at the clip in the tweet below.

Charles Barkley can sometimes be a bit… off with his analogies. But this one, we couldn’t help but agree more with. After all, to win it all, a team evidently needs to be on its toes as a unit. And for that to happen, indeed, nothing can replicate in-game reps.

So, with that in mind, when will these two players be back?

What timeline are Paul George and Kawhi Leonard on?

To be fair to both Kawhi Leonard (ankle) and Paul George (hamstring), the reason they didn’t play against the Blazers, was that they had picked up injuries. But fortunately, neither was anything to be too worried about.

But, due to the mentioned injuries, they are reportedly going to miss the Clippers’ game vs the Jazz as well.

However, fortunately, John Wall only missed the game vs Blazers due to knee management, and will reportedly be available to feature in Utah.
