Brandon Paul has been at best a role player this year for the San Antonio Spurs, but on Thursday he might have had his most important contribution of the season, defending his teammates on Twitter.
ESPN had reported that there was a heated players only meeting regarding Kawhi Leonard and his lack of coming back to the team to play.
Danny Green took to Twitter to refute the report though:
Couldn’t be anymore incorrect lol https://t.co/xo4yVyOvn2

Brandon Paul then took to Twitter to defend not only Green, but also Leonard not coming back to the team yet.
Y'all are funny

Player: I can't wait to get home & rest it's been a long week!
Media: Player hints he's had enough & growing tensions begin to divide locker room also 100% for sure player has asked a for more meaningful role in selection of post game meals! Read more he….

Paul was also clearly upset with the type of attention that this continues to generate.
“For months ppl have been talking about this as if it's first injury in NBA history, & for what? Then wonder why dudes don't want to talk to the media lol. I'm all about positivity. Let's talk about how unreal LA has been, or how Manu is 40 going on 23, or how…”
Leonard is still suffering from a quad injury that has had a lot of mystery surrounding it. He has been cleared by the Spurs doctors but hasn't been cleared yet by his personal doctor and that seems to be the reason that he is still out.
There seems to be a different report every day that comes out about when or if Leonard will return this season. It has been said that it has caused a discourse between the team and Leonard, but at least a couple of Spurs players are sticking to their guns and telling everyone that there are no issues in the locker room.
The Spurs don't really have time for distractions right now as they try to battle for a playoff spot. The Spurs currently have a 42-30 record which puts them in 6th place in the Western Conference. They are only three games ahead of the Nuggets though who sit in 9th place, so every game at this point is that much more important.
