Bowen won't be renewed as Clippers television game analyst after Kawhi Leonard comments
Last June Bowen criticized Leonard
Bruce Bowen won’t return as analyst of Fox Sports West due to his negative comments on Kawhi Leonard from last June.
Per ESPN, In the aftermath of critical comments about 2019 free agent target Kawhi Leonard, Bruce Bowen won't be renewed as the LA Clippers television game analyst next season, sources told ESPN.
Bowen was under contract with Fox Sports West, but the Clippers -- like every organization -- have significant input into the hiring of television broadcast talents and withheld approval on extending his contract, sources said.
Before the Toronto Raptors traded with San Antonio for Leonard in July, the Clippers tried to acquire him and plan to be aggressive suitors for Leonard in 2019 free agency. Leonard is primarily interested in signing with the Lakers or Clippers in July, league sources tell ESPN.
