Los Angeles Clippers superstar small forward Kawhi Leonard couldn't hold back his famous laugh during his conference call with reporters on Monday.

When there were some technical difficulties with the Zoom call, Leonard started laughing.

Leonard did not travel with the Clippers last week to Walt Disney World for the resumption of the 2019-20 season because he was tending to a family matter. It's good to see the two-time Finals MVP back with his teammates and smiling.

Prior to Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert’s positive COVID-19 test forced the season to be suspended in March, Leonard was averaging 26.9 points, 7.3 rebounds and 5.0 assists in his first season with the Clippers. The four-time All-Star and two-time Defensive Player of the Year was also shooting 46.9 percent from the field, 36.6 percent from beyond the arc and 88.9 percent from the free-throw line.

The Clippers, who have already clinched a spot in the 2020 playoffs and have the second-best record in the West, will face the Los Angeles Lakers, New Orleans Pelicans, Phoenix Suns, Dallas Mavericks, Portland Trail Blazers, Brooklyn Nets, Denver Nuggets, and Oklahoma City Thunder in the eight seeding games before the 2020 postseason starts.

Leonard, who began his NBA career with the San Antonio Spurs, has career averages of 18.6 points, 6.4 boards and 2.7 assists in 518 regular-season games with the Spurs, Toronto Raptors and Clippers. He's trying to make history by winning his third Finals MVP Award with his third team.
