Spurs coach Gregg Popovich disputed Tony Parker’s assertion that star forward Kawhi Leonard would return to action “in a couple weeks, three weeks,” but Popovich said that Leonard is making significant strides in his recovery from quadriceps tendinopathy.

“He’s getting very close and making progress,” Popovich said. “He’s having contact now, and hopefully, we’ll get him back shortly.”
