Spurs' Kawhi Leonard will have final word on return
Leonard flew to NY for a second opinion on his quad injury
Kawhi Leonard will have the final word on whether returning this season or missing the entire year due to his quad injury.
Per ESPN, After spending 10 days before the All-Star break in New York consulting with a specialist to gather a second opinion on his right quad injury, All-NBA forward Kawhi Leonard bears the burden of determining when he's prepared to play again, sources told ESPN.
Leonard has been medically cleared to return from the right quad tendinopathy injury, but since shutting down a nine-game return to the San Antonio Spurs that ended Jan. 13, he has elected against returning to the active roster, sources said. If Leonard returns, it will be because he has decided he can manage the pain of the injury, according to the sources.
