January Jones, best known for her role on Mad Men, stirred up social media after leaving a flirty comment on a Kawhi Leonard fan post, drawing immediate attention from NBA fans and gossip sites alike. While the notoriously private Clippers star has never been one for the spotlight off the court, Jones’ bold move didn’t go unnoticed. Fans were quick to react, with some amused by her forwardness and others criticizing the timing given Leonard’s family status. Whether it was just playful or something more, it’s clear January Jones has no problem making her admiration public — even for someone as reserved as Kawhi.

Kawhi Leonard has a girlfriend and two kids, but that’s not stopping actress January Jones from shooting her shot.

The Los Angeles Clippers small forward probably doesn’t know it, but he has a secret admirer in Jones who recently took to Instagram and publicly flirted with the Clippers superstar.

Don’t expect Leonard to respond to this at any point.

For the season, he is averaging 26.9 points, 7.2 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game on the season for the Clippers in 55 starts. The team is back in action on Saturday against the Portland Trail Blazers.

After the Blazers game, the Clippers will face the Brooklyn Nets, Denver Nuggets and Oklahoma City Thunder to wrap up the seeding games.

Mitchell’s raw emotion at the Cavaliers’ elimination from the playoffs was evident. He returned to the empty arena, sitting courtside in defiance of their series exit.

Speaking about the postgame conference, he opened up about that moment. “Just couldn’t believe it. Um, didn’t want to believe it. Don’t want to believe it. Still don’t want to believe it. It’s tough. It’s tough to win this league. Give them credit. We didn’t do the things necessary. I love playing in that fucking arena, man,” he stated.

His frustration reflected the missed opportunity, especially in front of the home crowd. “I love playing in that fucking arena, man. Like that energy, that crowd. We’re owning three at home, you know? Let the city down, man. That’s what makes this place special. This place is special. And we didn’t get it done,” he further added.

Mitchell acknowledged the team would be judged by its playoff exit, but accepting criticism, he chose to focus on the future. He questioned what the team would do next year and strongly highlighted that they would consider the downfall as motivation. With the leadership role, Mitchell will work harder with the team for a stronger comeback next season.
