SAN ANTONIO - San Antonio star forward Kawhi Leonard will miss Tuesday night's Game 2 of the Western Conference finals at the Golden State Warriors, leaving Spurs coach Gregg Popovich irate over what he felt was an avoidable injury.
Popovich lashed out at Warriors center Zaza Pachulia for his defense on Leonard, telling reporters on Monday that the Georgian's play was "dangerous" and "unsportsmanlike".
Leonard aggravated his left ankle injury in the third quarter of Sunday's opening game of the best-of-seven series when he landed on Pachulia's foot after taking a jump shot.
