The San Antonio Spurs squeaked past the Dallas Mavericks 101-100 in the season opener at home without NBA Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard taking the court.
Friday, the Spurs will welcome back the 23-year-old star as he was cleared by doctors Thursday, the team confirmed.
Leonard missed five preseason games as well as the opener against Dallas due to an eye infection.
