Leonard's availability for the Oct. 28 regular-season opener
against the Dallas Mavericks is also in doubt.
"It is going back and forth between the two (eyes)," coach Gregg
Popovich said on Saturday. "It's crazy. Kawhi is still out for 10
more days."
Popovich was critical of Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver, who
apologized to Suns fans when the Spurs played Phoenix without their
star players, including Leonard.
Popovich suggested that Sarver should have put on a "chicken suit"
when the owner apologized over the public address system before
Thursday night's preseason game.
