NBA fans are always a bit wary about change.

Kawhi Leonard is someone who has been a staple of the NBA over the past decade. Overall, he is a superstar who has won two NBA titles. His first was with the San Antonio Spurs on a stacked roster. Subsequently, he led the Toronto Raptors to their first-ever NBA title, back in 2019. Now, he is a member of the Los Angeles Clippers, although his tenure with the team has been marked by injuries. Having said that, Leonard remains a beacon of hope for the team, especially given his talents on offense and defense.

Over the weekend, Leonard found himself at the Gervonta Davis and Frank Martin fight. Overall, this was a match that a lot of fans were looking forward to, and for good reason. For most of the fight, Martin held his own and it seemed like he had a chance to win. However, he eventually let his guard down and Davis got the knockout. As for Leonard, he was seen sporting a brand-new haircut. His hair was a lot shorter than fans were used to, and this led to a plethora of reactions on social media.
