Late-night news broke from Yahoo’s Shams Charania, who reported that San Antonio Spurs star Kawhi Leonard and Gregg Popovich met Tuesday. It became the latest stage of the months-long saga on Leonard’s unhappiness with the organization, and days after reports of the desired trade from San Antonio.
Well, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski and Ramona Shelburne added to the meeting reports, noting how Leonard remains “irate” with Popovich and Tony Parker over unsupportive in-season comments, as well as the belief that the quadriceps injury was mishandled.
Before the meeting took place, Leonard did not want to sit down with Popovich and purposefully made himself “difficult” for the Spurs to reach.
