USA Basketball has announced that Kawhi Leonard will not be participating in the upcoming Paris Olympics. The decision was made by Leonard, who has opted out of playing for the national team this summer.
Leonard, a two-time NBA Finals MVP, has been dealing with a knee injury that has kept him sidelined for much of the current NBA season. The 30-year-old forward has been focusing on his recovery and rehabilitation, and has decided to prioritize his health and well-being over competing in the Olympics.
