Los Angeles Clippers

Maybe it is the track records of All-Stars Kawhi Leonard and Paul George or the inscrutability of the “Clippers Curse”, but the Clippers have long been unfairly associated with poor health. However, Director of Medical Services and Head Athletic Trainer Jasen Powell is a stalwart of the franchise and leads a group that is ranked as a top-10 unit for the past decade. After a rough 2021-2022 season, Powell and his medical team regrouped last season and dropped their total games lost by a league-best 229. The Clippers will look to build on that success as both Leonard and George enter the regular season healthy and ready to test the league’s new player participation policy (PPP).
