This is more of the same. Leonard has been working for months, but his personal doctors have not cleared him to play as he tries to return from a quad injury.
The situation seems to be creating some strain in the Spurs. Coach Gregg Popovich, at least, deflected questions about Leonard’s status to these doctors, and there doesn’t appear to be any resolution in sight.
