San Antonio Spurs

Will Kawhi Leonard be healthy for the playoffs? 

The San Antonio Spurs are the San Antonio Spurs. They’re basically what they are every season, no matter who is on the roster. Even with Kawhi Leonard missing most of the season, they’re clinging to the third seed in the West. Amazing.

Although, despite their solid regular season record, this will mean absolutely nothing in the playoffs.

If the Spurs don’t have Kawhi when it matters most, then I don’t think even the great Gregg Popovich will be able to coach San Antonio past the other playoff teams in the West.
