When he comes back, we are going to have to re-adjust. So it’s going to take a little bit of time. But at this point, it’s making those guys step up and play a bigger ro

But, he has missed the first 11 games of the season while slowly recovering from an ankle injury. Of course the Spurs have stayed afloat under head coach Gregg Popovic, going 7-4, but they clearly are missing Leonard's talents on both ends of the fl

So, while the Spurs are certainly rooting for Leonard to get healthy as soon as possible, they're making the best of the situation. Given their unprecedented stability as the most consistent franchise in sports during the Popovich Era, they know exactly how to handle situations like t

The 25-year-old has established himself as the face of the franchise since Gordon Hayward's departure to the Boston Celtics in the summer but has been unable to lead them consistently as his campaign continues to be marred by injur

According to Shams Charania of Yahoo Sports, the center now faces a month out after being diagnosed with a sprained posterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and a bone bruise in his left ti

Morris needs to heal quickly, as the Wizards' postseason hopes rest squarely on the former Kansas star's shaky ankle. Down 2-0 in the best-of-seven series, Game 3 on Thursday night is a must-win for Washing

Forbes, Paul and Anderson have all shown glimpses of production in their expanded roles with the team. In a win over the Hornets on Friday, Forbes scored 22 points on 8-of-11 shooting in just 22 minutes. Paul dropped 18 points on 6-of-8 shooting along with five rebounds in 30 minutes in a loss to the Boston Celtics in October 30.

"Who knows?" Bledsoe said. "I love the fans and I hope they love me back, but you know how that go. Love my teammates I played with while I was there. I'm just focused on the game. I got great teammates that will have my ba
