Kawhi Leonard is set to represent Team USA in this year's Olympic Games
After another NBA season full of injuries, Kawhi Leonard was on the receiving end of some criticism. The Klaw couldn't do much to help the Clippers get past the Dallas Mavericks in the first round of the 2024 NBA playoffs. He will soon start his preparations to help Team USA reach glory again after a disappointing showing in the 2023 FIBA World Cup.
He will link up with LeBron James, Steph Curry, and Kevin Durant to make up a formidable team.
Steve Kerr announced this week that Leonard is good to go ahead of the start of the competition, which is a good sign for next season.
