Age is not slowing Kawhi Leonard<\/a> down.<\/p>\n

The Klaw is showing how sharp his skills are by averaging a career-high 28.1 points per game in an attempt to bail the LA Clippers<\/a> out of their unenviable position in the Western Conference, courtesy of sloppy start to the season. His current efforts have netted the 34-year-old a two-point upgrade in NBA 2K26, bringing his tally up to 94 OVR.<\/p>\n

Leonard isn’t the only top performer gaining extra points. Boston Celtics<\/a> guard Jaylen Brown<\/a> earned as many as the Clippers star, while Karl-Anthony Towns<\/a>, Tyrese Maxey<\/a>, Donovan Mitchell<\/a>, Cade Cunningham<\/a> and Anthony Edwards<\/a> all added a single point to their respective OVRs.<\/p>\n

LeBron James<\/a> once again finds himself on the wrong side of the table, dropping another two points and going down to 92 OVR alongside Anthony Davis<\/a>.<\/p>\n
