SAN ANTONIO -- Kawhi Leonard's return to face the Spurs was met with the expected reaction.
Leonard, who returned here for the first time Thursday night since being traded to the Toronto Raptors last summer, was loudly booed from the moment he took the court for pregame warm-ups, as well as at any point he was shown on the video screens or touched the ball inside AT&T Center as the game progressed.
By contrast, Danny Green -- Leonard's long-time teammate in San Antonio, and who was sent to the Raptors as part of the same trade in exchange for DeMar DeRozan, Jakob Poeltl and a 2019 first round pick -- was cheered just as loudly throughout pregame introductions.
