Clippers’ wet celebration irks Kawhi Leonard after career-best 55-point outburst
NY Post
The Pistons couldn’t bother Kawhi Leonard one bit during one of the best games of his career Sunday night, but his teammates sure found a way to irk him.
Just after the Clippers superstar poured in a career-high 55 points on 17-of-26 shooting in a 112-99 victory over Detroit, Leonard celebrated his incredible feat with his Los Angeles squad in a manner that he certainly didn’t seem to approve of.
As the 34-year-old, two-time Finals MVP returned from the court to the Intuit Dome locker room, the Clippers showered him with bottles of water.
Not only did Leonard appear to be rattled by the liquid’s temp, he also noted it ruined his fresh ‘do.
“I’m sending all y’all an invoice,” Leonard could be heard saying in a video the Clippers posted on their Instagram page. “Y’all gotta get my hair braided again.”
Leonard didn’t seem too annoyed, however, as he did crack some wry smiles during the festivities.
