Spurs' Kawhi Leonard: Ruled out Friday for rest

Leonard will sit out Friday's game against the Mavericks for rest.

Analysis:

Leonard joins a long list of players expected to be out, which includes LaMarcus Aldridge (rest), Pau Gasol (rest), Manu Ginobili (quad), Danny Green (quad) and Dejounte Murray (groin). In Leonard's position specifically, look for Kyle Anderson and Jonathon Simmons to pick up the most minutes there, with Davis Bertans potentially seeing some added time at small forward as well. Look for Leonard to be back on Saturday against the Clippers.
