Leonard (ankle) is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Grizzlies.

Analysis:

It appears the sprained right ankle Leonard suffered Wednesday against the Suns will likely be severe enough to keep him out of the lineup Thursday, but expect a formal announcement from the team before the game tips off. With the upcoming game against the Grizzlies being the second of a back-to-back set, Leonard was never viewed as a safe bet to play. Expect Ed Davis to enter the starting lineup and see increased minutes if Leonard indeed sits.
