Kawhi Leonard: Continues To Deal With Pink Eye

Leonard met with an eye specialist Thursday and his pink eye has moderately improved, the San Antonio Express-News reports. However, he is set to miss Friday's final preseason game and will return to the specialist Monday to determine his status for the season opener against the Mavericks on Tuesday.

Analysis:

Friday's absence will be the sixth consecutive preseason game that Leonard will have to sit out with pink eye. This particular type of ailment shouldn't cause problems for Leonard's long-term viability this season, although it's within the realm of possibility that he'll have to sit the home opener against the Mavericks.
