Popovich Scolds Spurs Fans for Booing Leonard

Despite Coach's Intervention, Booing Continues as Clippers Beat Spurs

  • San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich scolded home fans for booing former Spurs star and current Los Angeles Clippers player Kawhi Leonard during a game on Wednesday night.
  • Popovich took to the courtside microphone during the game, asking fans to stop the booing and let the players play, calling the booing classless and not representative of who they are as fans.
  • Despite Popovich's intervention, the booing continued throughout the game, with Leonard and other Clippers players being targeted.
  • Leonard, who left the Spurs in 2018 under acrimonious circumstances, led the Clippers to a 109-102 victory over the Spurs, scoring a game-high 26 points.
  • Popovich's actions were unusual for an NBA coach and drew attention, but did not stop the booing from the fans.
