Kawhi Leonard will make his return to San Antonio in early January, and the first game in the storied Los Angeles Lakers-Boston Celtics rivalry -- now featuring LeBron James and Kyrie Irving -- will be in early February, the NBA announced on Friday as part of its full schedule release.
Leonard will play in San Antonio on Jan. 3 for the first time since orchestrating a trade from the Spurs this offseason. San Antonio traded Leonard to the Toronto Raptors for a package that included DeMar DeRozan.
