Let the record show that on a night in which Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are both out, OKC is playing an injured Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

I’m sure Gregg Popovich would prefer to have a Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili or Kawhi Leonard to build around, but I bet there’s a cantankerous, competitive side of him that truly enjoys the challenge of coaching up some young kids & helping them do the unexpected. – 9:48 PM

Andrew Greif: Ty Lue says that Kawhi Leonard felt some stiffness in his knee after shootaround and the team decided to hold him out as a precaution. Leonard will go to LA tomorrow, Lue said, because he’ll have more resources there to keep his recovery going. Lue said he’s not concerned. -via Twitter @AndrewGreif / October 25, 2022
Law Murray: League source tells @TheAthletic that Kawhi Leonard wanted to play tonight, despite knee stiffness. Leonard was not going to be scheduled to play Thursday. Staff decided to hold him out as a precaution. It’s October, so team is not messing around. -via Twitter @LawMurrayTheNU / October 25, 2022
