Gregg Popovich: Kawhi Leonard's confidence in quad 'just wasn't there'

The San Antonio Spurs will hold All-Star forward Kawhi Leonard out indefinitely due to lingering pain from a quadriceps injury that caused him to miss the first 27 games of the season. "... The pain wasn't dissipating, it wasn't going in the right direction, it was going the other way." Popovich quickly dismissed the idea that Leonard could be out for the remainder of the season due to the tendinopathy in his right quadriceps. Popovich described the Spurs' decision to sit Leonard as "conservative." "You've got to be confident in your body to go out there and play at the level that he's expected to play," the coach said.
