    It's no surprise that Kawhi Leonard hasn't been vocal about Paul George's Los Angeles Clippers exit. After all, Leonard is not exactly an open book, and he's the type who would much rather keep his true feelings to himself.

    This was the case yet again on Sunday after Leonard was asked to comment on his now-former teammate's decision to take his talents to the Philadelphia 76ers. Speaking to reporters during Team USA's training camp, he opted not to answer any questions about George's high-profile exit.

    Instead, Leonard dropped a cold eight-word response to address the issue:

    "I don't have a problem with him leaving,” the Clippers forward said (h/t Legion Hoops on X, formerly Twitter).

    The statement is pretty much on-brand for The Klaw.

    Leonard and George part ways after five years together in LA, which boasts one trip to the Western Conference Finals in 2021. Over the past few seasons, however, the Clippers have suffered back-to-back first-round exits, which is likely one of the main reasons behind this recent split.
