The problem with sleeping is that you might miss out on big news. Like, for instance, Kawhi Leonard joining the LA Clippers on a four-year, $142M maximum contract.
The Star confirmed reports from ESPN sports analyst Adrian Wojnarowski at around 2:00 a.m. Saturday morning, that Leonard would be leaving the Toronto Raptors for the Clippers.
The announcement — on a weekend, no less — caused a frenzy among NBA fans and media alike, all of whom have hotly anticipated Leonard’s decision since the free agency period opened on June 30.
Despite the late-night announcement for fans on the east coast, social media was abuzz with reactions over the blockbuster deal.
