Spurs' Leonard ruled out with bruised hand


The Spurs have ruled out small forward Kawhi Leonard for Thursday's game against the Thunder with a bruised right hand.

Leonard believed he'd be able to play Thursday, according to a previous report, but coach Gregg Popovich made it clear Monday he didn't expect to have the 2014 NBA Finals MVP available. Leonard has averaged 15.2 points, 7.6 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 22 games.

The Spurs are a 5-point favorite at home against the Thunder Thursday, per Vegas Insider.
