Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard , who had 11 points and four assists against the Spurs Saturday, says his relationship with coach Gregg Popovich has healed since his acrimonious split with San Antonio more than four years ago.LOS ANGELES — Standing near the Spurs’ bench during an out of bounds play Saturday, Kawhi Leonard heard a familiar voice coming from behind him.The details of the interaction between Leonard and his former coach will remain a secret, of course.
At the time, his departure was acrimonious. He wound up dealt to Toronto for DeMar DeRozan — now a Chicago Bull — along with Jakob Poeltl and the draft pick that eventually became Keldon Johnson. “He’s the reason I’m the player I am today,” the five-time All-Star said. “We’ve been in too many battles to, you know, have a scar on our relationship.”
“He’s probably going to be a Hall of Fame player,” Popovich said. “He wasn’t a Hall of Famer when he first got drafted. He’s worked his ass off.”
