AT&T CENTER – The San Antonio Spurs will get the 8th leading scorer in the NBA back Monday evening when they host the Atlanta Hawks, as All-Star forward Kawhi Leonard has completed the NBA’s concussion protocol.
Leonard suffered a hit to the head last Thursday in the Spurs’ loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. After displaying signs of a concussion, he had to go through the steps of the league’s concussion protocol, which included missing Saturday’s win against the Golden State Warriors.
With Leonard back, the Spurs get their best defensive player on the floor and their go-to player on offense, as Leonard averages 26.
