Spurs' Kawhi Leonard (quad) now targeting Tuesday return
According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, San Antonio Spurs forward Kawhi Leonard is reportedly aiming to make his season debut on Tuesday against the Dallas Mavericks.
What It Means:
Leonard was reportedly set to make his debut Saturday against the Phoenix Suns, but the Spurs just aren't comfortable with rolling him out there quite yet. Even when he does return, we're unlikely to see him play heavy minutes for some time. Leonard has missed the entirety of the season so far while dealing with tendinopathy in his right quad. Rudy Gay and LaMarcus Aldridge will continue to carry the load until his return.
Projected to average 22.0 points, 8.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game, Leonard currently carries a price of $8,000 on Friday's slate.
