According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Leonard signed a new three-year, $152.4 million contract extension, keeping him under contract through the 2026-27 season.

The Clippers' extension talks with Paul George are ongoing, and the organization continues to want to get both stars lined up on longer-term contracts, per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.

Both Leonard and George have $48.7M player options for next season.

On July 10, 2019, Leonard moved to his hometown team, the Clippers, to a reported three-year, $103 million contract, which included an opt-out clause in 2021.

Leonard underwent surgery to repair a partial tear in the ACL in his right knee in July 2021 and missed the entire 2021-22 season.

This season, Leonard is averaging 23.8 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 3.4 assists in his fifth campaign with the Clippers.
