Kawhi Leonard and Paul George might have parted ways from the LA Clippers, but the duo still shares a good bond. This was evident from a clip shared by a basketball fan from a Las Vegas nightclub where both NBA stars were spotted partying.
On Saturday night, a video surfaced showing Kawhi and PG-13 in their relaxed mood at Zouk Nightclub. A couple of hours later, the individual posted another video that showed Chet Holmgren and Ime Udoka, who were also present at the club.
However, what caught the attention of the NBA community more was the reunion of George and Leonard. Let’s take a look at some of the reactions.
“Kawhi left the Olympics for the huzzz”, wrote a fan.

While another added, “ni**a skipped out in team usa to go hang with where’s waldo”.
An astonished fan commented, “Kawhi played his own country smfh”.
One of the comments read, “Made an excuse to make it seem like they ain’t want him playing in the Olympics to go hang out with PG bro tired of Kevin porter jr already”.
“Kawhi left team USA for da h**ssss”, wrote another X user.
Their comments were prompted by Kawhi’s recent departure from the USAB Team. They cited injury issues, and the star could be seen in partying mode.
Kawhi Leonard’s Exit From Team USAB
Kawhi Leonard couldn’t appear in most of the 2024 playoff games with the LA franchise because of his knee injury. The recovery took ample time, making the swingman’s position in the USA Team uncertain.
However, in the final hours, he looked fit and ready to represent the team in the Paris Olympics 2024. Kawhi was present in the training session, but a day before the team’s exhibition game against Canada, he withdrew his name from the roster. The decision was made by the USA Team and Clippers to ensure that the 33-year-old didn’t pick up another injury.
Following Paul George’s exit from the Clippers, Kawhi is the leading man for them whose absence would cost them a great deal. The decision was made solely based on that.
