Report: Kawhi Leonard’s targeted return date pushed back to Tuesday

Kawhi Leonard was planning to return Saturday for Spurs-Suns.

Things aren’t going to plan.

Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN:

San Antonio Spurs forward Kawhi Leonard is now targeting his return on Tuesday against Dallas, league sources tell @mikecwright and me. He has yet to play this season with a quad injury.

If Leonard returns Tuesday, that’s fine. San Antonio should still beat Devin Booker–less Phoenix, regardless. Even if the Spurs lose, they’ve built plenty of cushion without Leonard.

But, man, this injury remains vexing.
