Leonard (illness) was available for Sunday's game but did not get into the game.

Analysis:

Leonard was dealing with an upper respiratory illness for the last week, keeping him out of the Blazers' first two games of the season. He's not expected to see much time this season as long as Robin Lopez, LaMarcus Aldridge, and Chris Kaman are healthy, but Leonard showed off a new three-point shot in the preseason, which could add the kind of new wrinkle to his game that could help him eventually dig into the bench rotation at some point this season.
