Spurs' Kawhi Leonard ruled out for Game 2 vs Warriors

SAN FRANCISCO — Spurs coach Gregg Popovich has ruled Kawhi Leonard out for Game 2 of the Western Conference finals with a sprained left ankle after what Popovich described as a "dangerous" and "unsportsmanlike" closeout by Golden State's Zaza Pachulia.

Leonard had an MRI on Monday and Popovich had no timetable on when he'd be able to return to action.

"We'll see what the MRI says, but obviously he won't play tomorrow," Popovich said.

Leonard left Game 1 on Sunday after re-injuring his tender left ankle in the third quarter when Pachulia's foot slid under Leonard's following a jumper by the All-Star forward.
