Some basketball drama mama!
Raptors star Kawhi Leonard has filed a federal lawsuit against Nike! This is all because of Nike is blocking him from using a logo that he believes he owns.
It was filed in California since Leonard has a home in San Diego.
Until 2018 Leonard was a Nike endorser, however now he endorses New Balance.
Leonard said Nike filed a copyright application for a logo that he designed and did so “without his consent.” Nike told Leonard earlier this year to stop using the logo, but Leonard is preparing to use the logo “on clothing lines, footwear and on other products and, among other things, in connection with sports camps and charity functions.”
See the logo below:
