For all 13 games of the 2017-18 season, the San Antonio Spurs haven’t had Kawhi Leonard appear. He injured his quad before training camp and hasn’t played since, with no definitive timetable for a return.
Before Tuesday’s game against the Dallas Mavericks, Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich provided an update on his star player’s status. According to Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News (h/t Bleacher Report), Popovich said, “He’s gonna be back sooner rather than later.”
This won’t be the timetable Spurs fans desire, but it sounds like somewhat positive words from the five-time champion coach.
