Kawhi Leonard (rest) won't play in second half of Spurs' back-to-back Wednesday night
San Antonio Spurs forward Kawhi Leonard will not play in Wednesday's road game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
What It Means:
The Spurs are continuing to hold Leonard out of back-to-backs as part of his injury management regimen. Kyle Anderson, Brandon Paul and Bryn Forbes will be asked to step up in his absence. Leonard did excite with a season-high 31 minutes against the New York Knicks. He should be back out there Friday versus the Phoenix Suns.
For Friday's game, we have Leonard down for 23.1 minutes and 28.1 FanDuel points. He's projected to average 16.8 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.2 steals in 31.8 minutes per game the rest of this season.
