SAN ANTONIO – Kawhi Leonard reportedly will not attend the USA Basketball mini-camp in Las Vegas set for Wednesday through Friday.
Citing league sources, ESPN's Chris Haynes reported late Tuesday night that Leonard would skip the workouts to use the time to prepare for his transition to the Toronto Raptors.
The Spurs traded the disgruntled star and guard Danny Green to the Raptors last week in exchange for four-time All-Star DeMar DeRozan, center Jakob Poeltl and a 2019 first-round draft pick.

Unlike Leonard, DeRozan appears to be excited about the mini-camp and the opportunity to go through practices run by Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, who will coach Team USA at the world championships next season and the 2020 Olympics in Japan.
