While LA Clippers star Kawhi Leonard does not make many public appearances during the offseason, he seems to be somewhere cool every time he does get spotted. In the past few weeks, Leonard has been seen partying with Rick Ross, sitting front row at the Los Angeles Dodgers vs. San Diego Padres game, and most recently linking up with Arsenal star Bukayo Saka.

In a post shared by KawhisKlawset on Instagram, Leonard was seen on the pitch with Saka posing with a signed jersey the Arsenal star gifted him:

Both Leonard and Saka are New Balance athletes, which explains the connection that was made for this viral moment. New Balance has been assembling a very strong team of athletes across all major sports, including Shohei Ohtani, Francisco Lindor, Zach LaVine, Raheem Sterling, and several more. 

In the video uploaded to Instagram, Leonard could be heard asking Saka how New Balance had been treating him. It was a cool moment at Arsenal Emirates Stadium between two of the biggest stars in their respective sports.

With just a couple months remaining of the NBA offseason, Leonard has seemed to find a good balance between enjoying his summer while also rehabbing his meniscus after injuring it in the postseason. As of right now, the Clippers star is expected to be ready when the season begins.
