The Knicks will have their fair share of free-agent players to target this off-season, and one superstar is Kawhi Leonard. Leonard, who missed the last two games of the Western Conference series against the Phoenix Suns, is apparently frustrated with the way they handled his injury, and there is some belief that he will require surgery this off-season. The extent of the injury is unknown, and if it requires a lengthy rehab, the Knicks could stay away from Leonard, considering they need a superstar player ready for the start of the 2021-22 regular season.
However, Leonard pushed to make a return against Phoenix, but the medical staff simply wouldn’t allow him to do so.
