Kawhi Leonard no longer on USA men’s basketball Olympic team
“Kawhi has been ramping up for the Olympics over the past several weeks and had a few strong practices in Las Vegas,” a USA Basketball statement read. “He felt ready to compete. However, he respects that USA Basketball and the Clippers determined it’s in his best interest to spend the remainder of the summer preparing for the upcoming season rather than participating in the Olympic Games in Paris.”
This is a breaking story and will be updated.
Kawhi's decision to prioritize his preparations for the upcoming NBA season with the Clippers over participating in the Olympic Games in Paris can be seen as a commitment to his sport. Despite his readiness to compete, he recognizes the benefits of focusing on his team's success in the upcoming league season.
