Team USA was prepared to dominate the 2024 Paris Olympics with an impressive roster. However, a recent change in the lineup surprised every NBA fan. Kawhi Leonard will not play in the Olympics, as announced on Wednesday by USA Basketball.
It seems that Leonard’s Olympic debut in 2024 is no longer happening, as the Clippers’ star player is withdrawing from Team USA’s Olympic squad to prepare for his 13th NBA season instead of representing the United States for the first time in his career.

***UPDATE*** It has since been discovered that this video is from 4 years ago, and not after Kawhi left team USA before the 2024 Olympics. ***END UPDATE***
However, an unpleasant video of Leonard went viral a few hours after his departure from Team USA. According to LakeShowYo, a social media account on X (formerly known as Twitter), Leonard was seen in Vegas after leaving Team USA.
LakeShowYo uploaded a video of a person throwing cash on a stripper in a club in Vegas and claimed that it was Leonard. Although the person in the video bears a resemblance to Leonard, it is still not clear whether it is actually him. However, a few fans claimed that he was not Leonard, and some fans claimed that the person in that video was Leonard, but the video was four years old.
