Over in the NBA, people keep asking, what is going on with Kawhi Leonard? The former Finals MVP has only played 9 games this season for San Antonio due to a quad injury. Reports claim he has been medically cleared to play, but is not suiting up. There seems to be tension with the team, as last week, long-time Spurs veteran, Manu Ginobili says he doesn't believe the former 2-time defensive player of the year will play this season. And another report, this one from ESPN claims the squad held a players only meeting imploring Leonard to play. It's uncertain when, or if, Leonard will play again this season.
