Is Kawhi washed? (alien.top)

He's averaging 20.5/5.2/3.7 on 56% TS this season. Solid numbers but not what we have come to expect from him. Instead of playing like the superstar he once was, he's playing like a glorified Khris Middleton.

He's 32 which is right around the point where a lot of stars fall off anyway. Did his latest injury in the playoffs end his prime?

32, tons of injuries... I guess he's still good but will never be old Kawhi. Can show some glimpses, though. For some stretches people are gonna say old Kawhi is back, but it is not gonna be consistent, like for a season or a chip run.

Also the lack of intensity and continuous high level play will make him decrease a lil bit. It's not that he forgot, but he will be less practiced.

Kawhi peaked all the way back in 2017 and emptied the tank in 2019.

He was never the same after your boy closed in on his landing space in that first game of the series where he was absolutely torching you guys. So sad that happened.
