Clippers' Kawhi Leonard Didn't Get Haircut Despite Viral Photo at Tank Davis Fight
June 17, 2024
Los Angeles Clippers star Kawhi Leonard turned heads when he appeared to be sporting a new haircut over the weekend, but it now appears that he didn't get rid of his usual locs.
A picture of Leonard at Saturday's boxing event headlined by Gervonta Davis defending his WBA lightweight title against Frank Martin drew some attention because it appeared that the 32-year-old was rocking a shorter hairstyle:

However, pictures surfaced on social media on Monday that showed Leonard's braids were still intact:
Leonard's hair has been braided since he entered the league as a first-round pick in the 2011 draft by the San Antonio Spurs, so it would've been a massive surprise to see him with a shorter hairdo.
However, it looks like fans don't need to worry about seeing a new-look Leonard next season.
