[Shams] Kawhi Leonard is withdrawing from Team USA for the Paris Olympics and will be replaced, sources tell me and @joevardon. Boston’s Derrick White is a strong candidate to replace Leonard on Team USA, sources said.

No Jaylen brown?
bro played 3 days and was like nah i cant do this lmao
The buffalo will roam in Paris
Lmaoooo I fucking knew it. Makes no sense they won’t go for JB instead of D White but whatever USA CELTICS
Paris isn’t ready for the Buffalo
GOLD MEDAL D WHITE TIME
Dwhite stocks just keep going up
This dude is beyond washed
Kerr said buddy you gonna be behind Tatum, Bron and KD … Kawhi said fuck that lmao
Derrick bout to take over Paris
Can’t understand for the life of me how Jaylen isn’t on this team
Would be cool to see JB make the roster and have a chance to compete for gold. I know its unlikely but he really deserves it
Anyone else see the headline like 2 days ago about him wanting to prove injury doubters wrong this Olympics? Lol
Let the Buffalo Roam, dude is always available unless his kid is being born
This might be the end of Kawhi Leonard. I feel bad for his degenerative knees
D White gonna omellete du frumage this MF’s lezgoo
If he’s still unable to play, Clippers are doomed.
Kawhi it’s time to hang it up brother. You had a good career thus far
this is the first time we get more than 1 celtic on the olympics. and really it should be 4 celtics not 3! why isnt brown even mentioned?
tatum in tokyo was the first olympic celtic since bird
This is a W, I’m from the UK and will be at the game in London against Germany. 3 Celtics on the roster lets goooo
Enormous upgrade over Kawhi. Enormous upgrade over everyone on the roster. Captain Buffalomerica.
Vibes = Immaculate ☘️
why not JB?
Having the country have to root for 3 Celtics players after winning a championship is just the icing on the cake
The Celtics have played a lot of basketball.
Derrick white is my personal favorite Celtic and it would be awesome to see him go. But my heart wants Jaylen so bad. To go from all the slander he went through last year to then getting ECFMVP, FMVP and potentially a gold medal would bring a tear to my eye.
media people in love with the idea of Kawhi Leonard makes him a 2nd team all NBA player, in reality Kawhi Leonard has been washed since the bubble
Good move, too many geriatrics on Team USA
Kawhi only plays 35 games a year. Clippers want him to play all of those in a Clippers uniform.
We want JB!
I can’t believe Kawhi Leonard would choose not to play games, biggest plot twist ever
Im excited for the celtics takeover of this team, but man I feel bummed about kawhi. Great player, even greater injuries
Officially confirmed Derrick White is the replacement
People are saying JB was snubbed/asked out of it or whatever, but I really think it’s just Team USA looking for more defensive-minded guards since in the past that’s been a weakness of theirs. Another unspoken plus is that White most likely won’t be salty about what minutes he does or doesn’t get. Not saying JB would do that, but it’d be evident White would be the “role player” they need and tbh I think that’s a good move.
