[Saba Sports News] Kawhi Leonard was among many NBA stars attending Kendrick Lamar’s ‘The Pop Out’ concert in Los Angeles for Juneteenth. While players like Russell Westbrook joined Kendrick on stage, Kawhi was spotted smoking weed by fans around him.
Leonard has been seen in similar situations before, with fans often noting when he’s getting high. Some even allege that he was rolling a joint when he gave his infamous “What it do baby?” soundbite while in a car with Serge Ibaka in 2019. While there are various stories of Leonard being a stoner, most remain rumors.
Kawhi might be quiet on the court, but he enjoys his time off the court. A video of him at a strip club with an emotionless face went viral in 2020.
Kawhi smoking marijuana isn’t a big deal, especially since the NBA removed it from the banned substances list. Many NBA players are open about their smoking habits, with Kevin Durant among the most outspoken. Draymond Green even had a blunt-rolling station at his wedding. Several former NBA stars now advocate for marijuana and cannabis, so the stigma around the substance in the NBA has significantly diminished.
