Whether or not Leonard makes the trip back north of the border in October is far from a slam dunk. He missed 22 regular-season games in 2018-19 as part of Toronto’s now famous "load management" strategy to ease him back into action after he played just nine games with San Antonio the previous season due to a quad injury.
After Toronto’s gruelling championship playoff run, it wouldn’t be surprising if the Clippers let him sit the Vancouver game out.Outside of Leonard, bot teams boast plenty of star power. The Clippers also acquired MVP finalist Paul George in a trade, and have a core that includes three-time sixth man of the year Lou Williams.
The up-and-coming Mavericks have a roster that includes rising superstar Luka Doncic and seven-foot-three big man Kristaps Porzingis. Both teams also have Canadian content, with veteran forward Dwight Powell of Toronto on the Mavericks’ roster and rookie forward Mfiondu Kabengele of Burlington, Ont., with the Clippers.
Odds of Leonard playing That pre-season game? Minimal🤔
At the start of last year I didn't watch basketball, this year I will cheer for both teams. Kawhi is always my guy, my love is eternal.
Hoopdee doo
Load management. No Kawhi.

MLBPA targets service time manipulation, wants 'meaningful' free agency - Sportsnet.caThe head of the baseball players' association has detailed the union's goals during collective bargaining, listing the restoration of a 'competitive environment' and 'meaningful free agency'' as aims. I agree with Clark the MLB service time is a joke. Compleatly one sided for teams to hold prospects hostage. Ok, teams want cost certainty and players want total free agency. So how about First player contracts are 2 or 3 years in length and capped on a sliding scale like they do for draft picks, after which they get unrestricted free agency, and the players agree to a hard salary cap.
