finally !
I know we already have like 3 Leonard threads on the front page, but they are all jumbled, and this is big news:
http://m.mysanantonio.com/news/local...s-12413663.php
The wait for Kawhi Leonard’s return may finally be coming to an end. League sources tell the Express-News Leonard could make his season debut for the Spurs on Saturday against the Phoenix Suns barring any setbacks.
According to sources, Leonard participate in a final workout session Thursday. The team will re-evaluate Leonard on Friday. If all goes well, and Leonard feels OK, the two-time Defensive Player of the Year will travel with the team to Phoenix after Friday’s game against Boston to play in the second game of a back-to-back.
finally !

El Matador returns.
Will believe it when I see it.
An even then, I hope he stays on the court.
I’ll believe it when I see it. There’s no mention of his ass wiping abilities in the article.
The whole team probably had to do Ass Wipies during the final workout.
He might get short asswipes at timeouts, like Yao on the bike.
Surprised they'd have him make his season debut on the road tbh.
Why does it matter? I've heardthis argument plenty but why? t, but he's not some invalid that needs special care, he's probably been cleared to travel for months. Spurs would rather be just play I think, the sooner the better
Hopefully there are no setbacks.. Could use a couple games under his belt before the Rockettes next Friday
Next 3 games are on the road, he'd have to wait till next Saturday to return to make a home debut. Tomorrow would've been great, but w/e
More for the fans' sake than anything, but also because it's good to bring a player back after a long absence in a comfortable environment. It's even more pronounced in this case since Kawhi hasn't played yet this season.
If he's ready it doesn't make sense to make him wait just because the game won't be played at home, specially not when you have multiple road games coming. It's not like you can wait one out and that's it.
The case with Boston is different, because it does make a difference getting a player back against the best defense in the league than against one of the worst.
Phoenix is a good warm-up for a real NBA team.
We'll see if his rehab, rest has got his tendonitis cured, and that it won't flare up from the intensity of game play.
I expect he will play only a few minutes, even less than Tony's been playing.
Any flare up, and he'll be shut down for weeks.
True. It's the equivalent of a major leaguer playing a AAA baseball game.
Good, bring him back against a semi-pro team.
they are pretty bad tbh
still doubt he plays more than a few perfunctory minutes
no booker iirc, G-League game
wonder who plays in Boston
Wouldn't be surprised to see Pop go full squad (sans Kawhi) against Boston to try get the win, then rest Parker, Manu, maybe Gay vs. Phoenix to work Kawhi back in.
