The Los Angeles Clippers have a new big three leading them, as long as they can all stay healthy.
This week, the trio of Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and Russell Westbrook were spotted practicing together during the Clippers’ training camp, via a video from Overtime and NBACentral.
Although they weren’t moving at full speed, it was great to see these three together again.
The fate of the team rests on their shoulders.

Clippers fans have been eagerly awaiting updates on both Leonard and George, who were again bit by the injury bug last season.
Their absence ultimately led to the Clippers not making it far in the playoffs.
One of the few silver linings from the postseason was the output of Westbrook, who had only been with the team for a few weeks.
During the regular season, he averaged 15.9 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 7.5 assists between his time with the Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers.
And during the playoffs, Westbrook went wild with 23.6 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 7.4 assists.
The Clippers weren’t able to win many games but Westbrook showed what a valuable asset he can be.
Can he continue to play like that with both Leonard and George back?
If this big three is able to perform well as a unit, the Clippers could be in very good shape.
But there will still be worries about impending injuries that could derail everything.
The team says that everyone is in good shape, healthy, and ready for the lengthy regular season.
Hopefully, that will remain true for the foreseeable future so this trio can show what they’re capable of.
