Meyers Leonard has been ruled out the Portland Trail Bazers’ Thursday night game with the San Antonio Spurs due to left shoulder dislocation. According to Blazers Beat Writer Casey Holdahl, it is the same shoulder that Leonard injured when he got tangled with the Spurs’ Kawhi Leonard in November.

Leonard dislocated his left shoulder earlier in the season as well, so not sure if that increases the time he misses with the new injury.

It is unclear how much time Leonard will miss at this juncture, although he has described his experience with shoulder subluxation as a "once a year, every year" occurrence. Last time, he missed two weeks. In his absence, Ed Davis and Maurice Harkless should see an uptick in court time.
