Taking a page from her older sister, Kendall Jenner is dating a professional basketball player.

Jordan Clarkson and Kendall Jenner are reportedly “casually” dating. Clarkson who is 24 and the 20-year-old Jenner have been rumored to be linked for a few months.

Jordan Clarkson, who is entering his third season in the NBA, recently agreed to rejoin the Los Angeles Lakers on a four-year $50 million contract. Last season, the shooting guard put up averages of nearly 16 points and four rebounds in about 32 minutes per contest.

With the future Hall of Famer and Lakers all-time leading scorer, Kobe Bryant, retiring, the Los Angeles are void of a leading scorer and a star. With Clarkson already averaging 16 points per game last season, he is definitely more than capable of filling the scoring need. Though, the question remains, is he ready to become a star?

With Clarkson receiving a 50 million dollar contract, the Lakers brass seems to think so. As does Kendall Jenner who is a star in her own right, based off of her family’s reality show’s success and seems to only accompany herself with those of similar status. Kendall Jenner has been rumored to be linked with many celebrities in the past, with pop superstar Justin Bieber being the most notable.

There will surely be added pressure on Clarkson for the upcoming NBA season. From simply just playing for the Lakers, trying to fill Kobe’s void and dating a reality star, the pressure will definitely be mounting for the Los Angeles Lakers’ new $50 million dollar man.
