Spurs' Kawhi Leonard expects an increased workload with LaMarcus Aldridge (heart) out
San Antonio Spurs forward Kawhi Leonard has said that he expects to see an increased workload with LaMarcus Aldridge (heart) on the sidelines.
What It Means:
Aldridge is dealing with minor heart arrhythmia, and has been ruled out indefinitely. He went to see a specialist on Monday, so we should have a better idea of how long he may be sidelined sometime this week.
Leonard's usage rate this season has jumped from 30.7% in minutes he has played with Aldridge on the floor to a huge 36.7% in the 475 minutes he has played with Aldridge on the sidelines. Leonard ranks second in the NBA with a 16.5 nERD on the season.
