Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is currently listed as doubtful, so he’s not expected to
take the court. That will allow Simmons to pick up another start in his place
and should mean a hefty workload. When Simmons started Game 6 of the semifinals
against the Rockets in place of Leonard, he ended up playing 31 minutes and
posted 18 points, four assists and a steal, so a similar workload should be
expected during Tuesday’s contest.
