Clippers president Lawrence Frank said he definitely believes in Kawhi Leonard and James Harden as the franchise's cornerstones, despite an embarrassing Game 7 loss in their first-round series against the Nuggets.

The LA Clippers ended their 2024-25 campaign with a Game 7 loss to the Denver Nuggets on Saturday night, finishing their playoff run much sooner than expected.

Superstar Kawhi Leonard returned to the lineup in January and was relatively healthy from there on out. Fellow max contract star James Harden was his usual productive self, averaging 22.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 8.7 assists and 1.5 steals per contest in 79 games.
