Kawhi Leonard returns to NY for rehab, reports say
As much as you want to give the San Antonio Spurs the benefit of the doubt, with all the equity they've built up over the past two decades, you have to admit that this Kawhi Leonard situation is worrisome, at the very least.
Leonard has been away from the Spurs since Monday with no timetable set on a possible return to San Antonio.
Two things stand out: 1) There is still no timetable for Leonard's return, and 2) It's a bit odd that Popovich, and presumably the Spurs organization, are not in constant communication regarding the health of their franchise superstar. That is all but dead, especially now that he's reportedly returned to NY for rehab from non-Spurs doctors.
Leonard left San Antonio and his teammates in the aftermath of increasing tension levels surrounding his disconnect with the team and several near-returns that resulted in Leonard backing off and staying on the sidelines.
It has created a cloud of uncertainty if he will be able to take the floor in any of the final few regular season games or the playoffs if the Spurs secure a spot.
Leonard, 26, is a two-time All-NBA first-team selection and was named Defensive Player of the Year in 2015 and 2016. And if he isn't offered the super max extension this summer, it gets all the more interesting. He averaged 16.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.0 blocks this season.

"He is not coming back", Ginobili said.
Also, veteran point guard Tony Parker, who returned from a more severe quadriceps injury suffered in last season's playoffs, also has made critical remarks.
Is there a possibility Leonard could get clearance from his doctors on this trip? Same kind of injury, but mine was 100 times worse, but the same kind of injury. Leonard has been cleared by team doctors for some time. "You just try to stay positive".
Before taking down the Houston Rockets without Leonard on Sunday, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich addressed the topic in front of reporters yet again.
"That's where he's doing his rehab", Popovich said.
