As it was just announced on Inside The NBA, Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard was named an All-Star starter for this year’s star-studded game taking place at the United Center in Chicago.
Leading the Clippers to the second-best record in the West at (31-14), Kawhi Leonard has averaged career-high numbers across the board while also playing the least amount of minutes in his past five seasons (min. 10 games played).
This will be Leonard’s fourth all-star appearance and second consecutive appearance as he previously made it with the San Antonio Spurs (2016, 2017), Toronto Raptors (2019) and now the LA Clippers (2020).
