Popovich Kawhi Leonard has partial tear in left shoulder. PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich says forward Kawhi Leonard has a partial tear in his left shoulder. Popovich revealed the injury Sunday before San Antonio's game against the Trail Blazers. It was not immediately known how serious or extensive the tear is. Leonard sustained the injury during the Spurs' 103-89 win Friday over the Phoenix Suns. "It's too bad because he was starting to get back into form a little bit after playing a couple of games," Popovich told reporters gathered.
