Ahead of the 2023-24 NBA season, the Los Angeles Clippers are under the spotlight.
They are expected to be one of the top contenders for the NBA Championship from the Western Conference despite finishing as the fifth seed last season.
While the Clippers have always been a team with high expectations over the last decade or so, this year, something is different about the team, and in a good way.
It was evident from Kawhi Leonard taking up the role as the leader of the team.
Leonard recently heaped huge praise on Bones Hyland, and the latter reacted to the praise via his official Twitter handle.
My Guy! I Got ya back bro https://t.co/ixeAuGF9Hx

Hyland simply promised Leonard to have his back.
It was a great gesture from the young player to show respect to a senior player on the team.
As for Hyland, he’s expected to take the leap this season.
Last season, he averaged 10.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game for the Clippers.
Unfortunately, he didn’t get a chance to crack the starting lineup for the organization.
During the 2023-24 campaign, Hyland is expected to become a starter for the team at one point or another during the season.
Since he’s just 23 years old, Hyland has his entire career ahead of him.
If he can continue improving at the current pace, Hyland may become a future star for the Clippers as well.
