Kawhi Leonard’s New Haircut Isn’t Quite What It Seems

Los Angeles Clippers star Kawhi Leonard was on hand this weekend for the fight that took place in Las Vegas between Tank Davis and Frank Martin. The former wound up easily beating the latter, but that wasn’t the main story of the evening.

Rather what everyone couldn’t stop talking about in the aftermath was Leonard’s new haircut:

Reactions poured in very quickly on social media from both Leonard’s fans and detractors:

On Monday, an interesting new update emerged regarding this story. It appears as though Leonard’s haircut isn’t quite what everyone thought it was:

Not what I expected to report on this summer, but Kawhi Leonard did not cut his hair.

Part of the intrigue surrounding this situation relates to the fact that Leonard is viewed as so boring. That’s why even him getting a haircut is a big deal.

Whether it is for his encounter with Cameron Brink, his photos with his girlfriend or the images of him going wild at Paul George’s party – any time Leonard does anything besides purely play ball, folks are surprised.

This is just the latest example of that.

Will Leonard address his haircut in some capacity in the foreseeable future? Time will tell.
