Talk about a Woj Bomb.
Two of the biggest stars in the NBA are off the market just moments into the NBA’s free agency period.
New Orleans Pelicans superstar forward Anthony Davis and San Antonio Spurs forward Kawhi Leonard reportedly have agreed to maximum contract extensions, per Yahoo! Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski.
Davis, who still has one year remaining on his rookie contract and wasn’t actually a free agent, averaged 21.2 points, 10.2 rebounds and 2.7 blocks per game last season en route to a First-Team All-NBA selection. The 21-year-old confirmed the extension on Twitter.

Wojnarowski also added that Leonard, the NBA’s Defensive Player of the Year and the 2014 NBA Finals MVP, has agreed to the framework of a five-year maximum contract extension that could be worth more than $90 million.
He’ll join the San Antonio Spurs brass — along with Tim Duncan and coach Gregg Popovich — in recruiting Portland Trail Blazers prized free-agent forward LaMarcus Aldridge on Wednesday morning.
