Kawhi Leonard could leave the San Antonio Spurs because of the way he’s been treated by his teammates, according to former Spur Stephen Jackson.
The 2014 NBA Finals MVP has not played since January and a return from his injury is in serious doubt after Tony Parker's comments, Jackson said. The Spurs point guard said the quad injury he suffered during last year’s playoffs was “a hundred times worse” than the one afflicting Leonard.
However, Jackson, who played four seasons in San Antonio, suggested Parker’s comments are unlikely to convince Leonard to return to the franchise.
“I know the type of person Tony is," Jackson said earlier this week, while making an appearance on Fox Sports 1. "He can be selfish. And by this comment, I wouldn't be surprised if this makes Kawhi want to leave. When your teammates are going against you in the media like that, not having your back, and you know that's coming from up top (in the organization), why would you want to be there?"
Two days before Parker made his feelings clear, guard Manu Ginobili told reporters speculations surrounding Leonard’s future had gone too far.
“For me he’s not coming back because it’s not helping,” the Argentine told reporters, as per Hannah Trippett of NBC affiliate WOAI TV.
“We fell for it a week ago again. I guess you guys [the media] made us fall for it. But as I said maybe a month ago—I don’t know when it was—we’ve got to think that he’s not coming back, that we are who we are and that we’ve got to fight without him," Ginobili said
