Leonard ready to lead Clippers vs. former Spurs teammates

Kawhi Leonard will try to lead his new team, the Los Angeles Clippers, to a win against one of his former teams, the visiting San Antonio Spurs, on Thursday night. After Leonard spent seven seasons in San Antonio, his relationship with the organization deteriorated, and he was traded in July 2018 to the Toronto Raptors in a deal that sent DeMar DeRozan to the Spurs. Leonard went on to lead the Raptors to their first NBA title last spring in a surprising six-game victory against the defending champion Golden State Warriors.
