Kawhi Leonard tried to fight through the pain. After stepping on teammate David Lee’s ankle, Leonard hobbled out of the game. He went to the bench only to check in shortly after.
The Golden State Warriors attacked Leonard with Kevin Durant and the San Antonio Spurs’ defense got a stop. The Spurs’ star tried to take a fading jumper in the corner and Zaza Pachulia closed out hard. He landed, took another hop, and Leonard landed on his feet, twisting his ankle once again.
He fell to the ground and was slow to get up. Despite being in considerable pain, Leonard hobbled to the free-throw line and took his attempts.
