Source: Kawhi Leonard has filed a federal lawsuit against Nike, according to Portland Business Journal’s Matthew Kish. The suit was filed in a U.S. District Court in Southern California on Monday.
Leonard, 27, has claimed Nike filed a copyright application for his ‘Klaw’ logo without his consent. The suit detailed the logo was an extension of drawings Leonard started making during his college years. Leonard initially gave Nike permission to use the logo with restrictions when he had an endorsement deal with the company’s subsidiary Jordan Brand. His deal with the brand ended October 2018 and he signed a multi-year, multi-million dollar deal with New Balance in November.
Regardless, Danny Green and Marc Gasol need to be better in game 3 if the Raptors want to win a ‘ship.
