The star player of the Los Angeles Clippers, Kawhi Leonard, was initially chosen to represent the United States in an international competition to play for Team USA in the 2024 Paris Olympics. However, he was later replaced by Boston Celtics guard Derrick White.
Throughout his NBA career, Leonard, who was recently spotted partying in Vegas, has faced several injuries. These injury setbacks have led to criticism from NBA analysts and fans on multiple occasions. Recently, during an episode of First Take, host Stephen A. Smith made bold statements regarding the injuries that Leonard has experienced in his professional career.
“Nobody misses more games than Kawhi Leonard… Kawhi Leonard invents ways to get hurt.” Smith said.
Smith stated that Leonard creates ways to get injured and asserted that Leonard misses more games than any other player.
Smith’s Shocking Comments for Leonard Spark Outrage Among NBA Fans
Smith’s remark was not well-received by the fans, leading to heavy criticism. NBA fans voiced their opinions in the comment section of the post on X (formerly known as Twitter).
One fan supported Leonard while criticizing Smith, saying, “He can’t go a day without hating on Kawhi. He only does it because he knows Kawhi won’t respond.”
Meanwhile, another fan mentioned, “Whenever he wants some clicks he just slanders Kyrie or Kawhi lmao, like clockwork.”
Another fan supported Leonard by saying, “Now u gonna blame a guy for having bad knees? He’s just unlucky.”
Another fan reacted, “Attacking guys’ characters because they are injury-prone is incredibly lame.”
Another fan reacted, “Kawhi Leonard just trying to enjoy his vacation and a random Stephen A Smith appears.”
Leonard recently completed his 12th NBA season. According to StatMuse, he averaged 23.7 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 3.6 assists in 68 games in the 2023-24 season. He was chosen to play in his sixth All-Star game. Supporters wish Leonard luck in staying injury-free for the upcoming season.
Latest Photo Of Jason Kelce’s Shocking Body Transformation Confirms He Won’t Be Coming Out Of Retirement Anytime Soon

Philadelphia Eagles legend Jason Kelce all but confirmed that he’ll never come out of retirement after revealing a remarkable offseason body transformation.
Though he was still at the top of his game last year, Jason Kelce decided to hang up the cleats on his illustrious career that will lead to a spot in the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility.
Because Kelce was playing at a high level in his age-36 season, many fans can’t help but wonder if he’d come out of retirement and return to the Eagles — especially if they’re in Super Bowl contention.
But during an interview with the Associated Press, Jason Kelce made it clear that a comeback is not happening. Kelce cited that the Eagles won’t be calling him back after his drastic offseason weight loss:
“They’re not going to call me to come back and play center at 260 pounds, and I’m moving on to the next thing and I’m excited to watch Cam (Jurgens). I really think Cam is going to be tremendous this year. He’s going to really show people how great of a player he is.
He was good for us last year at right guard and he’s going to flourish at center. And for me personally, my days of playing are just done and I do not foresee any scenario taking place other than maybe medicine inventing a way to get rid of arthritis that I would ever entertain coming back at all anymore.”
