SAN ANTONIO -- The San Antonio Spurs announced they'll hold out forward Kawhi Leonard for Wednesday's matchup against the Phoenix Suns at the AT&T Center due to gastroenteritis.
The club made the announcement approximately 90 minutes before the teams were set to tip off.
Leonard will miss his first game of the season, after starting 31 games during the 2016-17 campaign, in which he connected on 47 percent from the field, 39.
