Sources: Kawhi Leonard wants to leave San Antonio

All-Star forward Kawhi Leonard wants out of San Antonio, league sources have told ESPN.

Leonard, according to sources, has grown frustrated with how the organization handled his quad injury and feels the franchise turned on him once he sought a second opinion.

There's a distrust that appears irreparable, sources say.

Leonard has communicated with coach Gregg Popovich in recent days, sources say, but the two have yet to speak in person.

Leonard has Los Angeles -- preferably the Lakers -- at the center of his preferences for a trade destination, league sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
