The San Antonio Spurs will enter the offseason with more questions than answers, and they all start with Kawhi Leonard, the suddenly controversial star who stayed away from the headlines in his first six seasons in the Alamo City. Now, it’s a question of what’s next?
Leonard missed all but nine games of the 2017-18 season due to a mysterious quadriceps injury that impacted him since 2016. The ailment never went public until the 2017 preseason, when the Spurs announced he would be out indefinitely. That expanded to the fall, with an eventual return in December.
