Some San Antonio Spurs fans were disappointed that they didn't see Kawhi Leonard against the Denver Nuggets last night and were fearing the injury could be much worse than expected. According to Marc Spears on Twitter, there's nothing to worry about Spurs fans:
Spurs assign injured F Kawhi Leonard (knee, quad) to the Austin Toros of the NBA Development League for a medical rehab assignment.
— Marc J. Spears (@SpearsNBAYahoo) December 19, 2012
This comes as great news for Spurs fans. Kawhi will be getting some minutes and looking to get into some decent game shape before going into an NBA game. He'll still need work to do but this will come as uplifting news for a team that's needing to recharge with a hellish schedule and a thin roster because of injuries.

For years teams have been trying to be like the San Antonio Spurs. No team has been more consistent over the last 15 years, so why not? The Spurs have built a successful mold that other teams are going to try to copy, but in my opinion, no one has accomplished that goal yet.
