NBA superstars return to NBA pre-season action after injuries

The NBA is healing as Kawhi Leonard, Ben Simmons, Jamal Murray are back on the hard wood to play for their respective teams.

Leonard, who was out more than 15 months due to knee ACL, started for the Los Angeles Clippers’ pre-season game against the Portland Trail Blazers.

He immediately made an impact by drilling a triple in the start before finishing with 11 points.

Meanwhile, Ben Simmons made his Brooklyn Nets debut on a losing note but was highlighted by his no-look assist and a one-handed jam.

Jamal Murray announced his return as well by hitting a one-legged fadeaway to beat the first quarter buzzer for the Denver Nuggets.

Their return will reshape the power of balance in the NBA as we near the tipoff for the 2022-23 season.
