Spurs' Leonard, Ginobili return vs. Trail Blazers

Kawhi Leonard and Manu Ginobili are expected to play against the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday.

The duo missed the team's previous game versus the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday as Leonard battled a respiratory infection and Ginobili dealt with thigh abductor tightness.

Leonard, the 2014 Finals MVP, has been averaging career highs in points (21.9) and rebounds (7.5) while tallying 1.9 steals per game.

Ginobili, a four-time champion with the Spurs, has become head coach Gregg Popovich's resident bench weapon. The 38-year-old Argentine has been chipping in with 11 points and 3.8 assists through eight games this season.
