Kawhi Leonard Ruled Out Sunday With Knee Injury
Underdog NBA reported: 'Kawhi Leonard (knee) listed out Sunday.'
Death, taxes, and Kawhi Leonard popping up on an NBA injury report with a knee issue.
Underdog NBA confirmed the inevitable, reporting that the star forward has been officially ruled out for Sunday. If you had plans to watch him play today, you might want to pivot to literally anything else.
Leonard is currently anchoring the wing for the , but his availability remains the most unpredictable variable in the sport.
We are talking about a guy whose surgically repaired right knee and lingering left knee contusions have their own dedicated news cycles. Trying to guess his active status is basically a coin flip weighted heavily toward street clothes.

Betting on a Kawhi Leonard player prop on a weekend is like leaving your car unlocked in a bad neighborhood and being shocked when your stereo goes missing. You knew the risks when you parked.
Fantasy managers and bettors now have to scramble to find replacement value on the waiver wire or the alternate lines. Keep an eye on the injury report heading into next week, because a one-game rest for Leonard has a funny habit of turning into a multi-game saga.
