Kawhi on back-to-backs: 'Important games are ... in April, May, and June'

Kawhi Leonard isn't sure if he'll play in both ends of the Toronto Raptors' back-to-back set on the road against the Los Angeles Lakers and Utah Jazz on Sunday and Monday, respectively, but he knows where his priorities are.

"You want to play, but I've been through the league long enough to know where the important games are, and that's in April, May, and June," Leonard said Thursday, according to TSN's Josh Lewenberg.

The Raptors have played two back-to-back sets so far this season, with Leonard sitting out one in each due to injury prevention after playing in just nine games as a member of the San Antonio Spurs last year.

Leonard does expect to play in his hometown of Los Angeles on Sunday.

"We'll see what happens and what they have on the menu," he added. "But I'm pretty sure I'll be playing (in LA)."
