Attendance rate is only 42%! Many Clippers members hoped that Xiaoka would leave early: This was simply a nightmare

On September 18, according to the report of the US media Dallas Basketball Magazine, several sources revealed that many members of the Clippers hope to part ways with Leonard.

Xiao Ka joined the Clippers in the offseason in 2019. In 6 years, the Clippers have never reached the NBA Finals, and Xiao Ka's attendance rate is only 42%.

"It's a nightmare," a Clippers source said of the age of Little Ka. "He was a very talented player when he was healthy, but he was known to be seldom healthy, and his team was difficult to deal with. Thankfully, his days here are coming to an end." Little Ka's contract has two years left, with his annual salary of $50 million in 2025-26 and $50.3 million in 2026-27. Kat will become a full free agent in the summer of 2027. The Clippers have not renewed their contract with Xiaoka in advance. After the suspected Yin-Yang contract between Xiaoka and the Clippers was exposed, it was even more impossible for the Clippers to renew Xiaoka's contract in advance.

Xiaoka has not achieved satisfactory results in the years she played for the Clippers. In the second round of the playoffs in the 2019-20 season, the Clippers were reversed and eliminated by the Nuggets 4-3 while leading the Nuggets 3-1. In the second round of the 2020-21 season's playoffs, Kat tore the ACL in the right knee against the Jazz in the series against the Jazz. Although the team defeated the Jazz, he lost to the Suns in the Western Conference Finals.

Xiao Ka missed the entire 2021-22 season due to a cruciate ligament injury. Without him, the Clippers missed the playoffs. Xiao Ka played 52 games for the Clippers in the 2022-23 season. In the first round of the 2023 playoffs against the Suns, his right knee meniscus torn and the Clippers lost the series.

Xiao Ka played 68 games for the Clippers in the 2023-24 season and was selected as the second team of the NBA All-NBA Team. However, in the first round of the 2024 playoffs against the Mavericks, he had an old knee injury reaction and played only in the second and third games, and the team was eliminated 2-4 in the first round.

Xiao Ka quietly underwent surgery in May 2024 and concealed his injuries from the US men's basketball team. Xiao Ka reported to the national team in July, but his condition did not meet the national team requirements. The coaching staff of the American men's basketball team eventually replaced Xiaoka with Derek White.

In the 2024-25 season, Xiao Ka played 37 games for the Clippers, but the Clippers lost to the Nuggets 3-4 in the first round. Xiao Ka offered a series of conditions during negotiations with the Clippers that year, and the Clippers were somewhat satisfied, while others were not. One of these conditions is an off-site sponsorship contract. Now it seems that this may be related to Xiaoka's suspected Yin-Yang contract this time.
