Margot Robbie, one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, has been making headlines for her latest film, Barbie, which has enjoyed widespread popularity and is projected to surpass $1 billion at the box office. Alongside her successful acting career, Margot recently grabbed attention within the NBA Twitter community.
Notably, Robbie was seen donning a Clippers Jersey, proudly displaying the No.2, the same number worn by Clippers player Kawhi Leonard. While the majority of celebrities residing in LA typically support the Lakers, this Australian actress stands out as a dedicated Clippers fan.
Despite rampant speculation among fans, Margot and Kawhi’s personal lives remain private. Contrary to popular belief, Margot is actually married for six years, while Kawhi has a daughter with his girlfriend. Consequently, fans waiting for a potential Margot-Kawhi romance are bound to be disappointed, as their connection seems purely coincidental rather than romantic.

NBA Twitter chimes in on Margot Robbie wearing Clippers jersey
The Clippers, often called the “little bros” to the Lakers in Los Angeles, sparked a frenzy on NBA Twitter when Hollywood superstar Margot Robbie sported a Kawhi Leonard Clippers jersey. The sight of such a massive superstar wearing a Clippers jersey garnered immense attention. Here are some of the reactions:

Since their arrival in the city back in 1984, the Clippers have always played second fiddle to the Los Angeles Lakers, who have enjoyed a plethora of championship victories. Despite little to no success, the Clippers underwent a significant change when Steve Balmer acquired the team in 2014, bringing them into relevance. In the 2020 season, they made it to the conference finals, but they have yet to secure a championship ring and firmly establish themselves as a worthy competitor to the Lakers.
With Robbie proudly displaying her support for the Clippers, it now falls on Kawhi Leonard and Paul George to step up in the upcoming season. After four disappointing seasons as a duo, they must secure a championship. Moreover, Robbie might not be the only celebrity fan they could attract when their new arena opens in the 2024-25 season.
