The Oldtimer
Older than dirt!!
The saga of Kawhi Leonard's mysterious quad injury has been one of the strangest storylines in the NBA this season. Originally, Leonard was expected to just sit out the preseason, but his debut kept getting pushed back, with Gregg Popovich at one point saying he had never seen something like Leonard's injury.This proves his injury history is nothing to worry about.
Prior to this year, every one of those is a very minor injury. Given Pop's tendency to sit stars with a hang nail during the regular season, this should not concern anybody.
Eventually, the Spurs star debuted on Dec. 12 against the Mavericks, but played sparingly in the following weeks, as the Spurs tried to work him back slowly. Leonard, however, could not get over the soreness in his quad, so last week the Spurs decided to shut him down once again. Then, on Monday, there was a big report from Adrian Wojnarowski, which said the lingering quad injury is causing discord between Leonard and the Spurs -- a reportLeonard's camp denied.
