Our Review
-
Kawhi Leonard agreed to a deal with the Clippers after being courted by a handful of teams. He reportedly struck a 3-year, $103 million deal that includes a player option in the final year (2021-22).
Leonard, a two-time NBA Champion and Finals MVP, has yet to officially been assigned a number. While he has worn No. 2 throughout his entire NBA career, he doesn’t have a number yet with L.A. As a special event item, this jersey will ship within 2 to 4 weeks after his new number is officially confirmed by the league.
-
Paul George’s situation is similar to Leonard’s. The NBA hasn’t officially confirmed his new number with the Clippers, but once it is, the jersey will be mailed within 2 to 4 weeks.
George came into the league in 2011 with the Pacers and wore No. 24 before switching to No. 13 for his last couple of seasons with Indiana and his stint with Oklahoma City.
George had a 4-year, $136.9 million contract, which he signed in the 2018 offseason with the OKC. He also has a player option for 2021-22.
