In the midst of the recent rumors surrounding the San Antonio Spurs, star forward Kawhi Leonard is reportedly 100 percent healthy and fully recovered from his problematic quad injury, according to Chris Mannix of Yahoo Sports (via Adam Kaufman of WBZ News Radio).
The information is coming through his circle, which was likely the source of his reported discontent with the team and last Friday's report of him wanting out of San Antonio.
Assuring that he's 100 percent healthy now bolsters his chances of garnering interest from teams around the league, who have inquired with a wee bit of concern about his troublesome quad, after not agreeing on a diagnosis throughout the entire 2017-18 season.
The only thing keeping teams from making a bid for Leonard is a guarantee that he will sign with the team after the 2018-19 season, as most inquiring front offices are skeptical that this could be a one-year rental.
The Boston Celtics, Philadelphia 76ers, and the Los Angeles Lakers have plenty of assets to offer in a trade, but it will ultimately depend on the Spurs' willingness to negotiate (still holding on to hope he will remain with the team) to get a deal done before the start of the season.
