Kawhi Leonard was selected as an All-Star game starter a year ago, but he’s back for more.
The NBA announced Thursday evening that fans, media and coaches voted Leonard into a starting role in the 2017 NBA All-Star Game, which will be held Feb. 19 in New Orleans.
He becomes the fifth Spur ever to be named an All-Star starter more than once, joining George Gervin, Alvin Robertson, David Robinson and Tim Duncan.
Leonard certainly has the credentials to back his selection. He’s led his Spurs team to a 32-9 record thus far, and the sixth-year forward ranks 10th in the league in scoring with 24.
