---Original Text---

The hits keep on coming for the San Antonio Spurs, as Kawhi Leonard fractured his finger on Wednesday, Jan. 22, against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Spurs announced that Leonard suffered a non-displaced fracture of his fourth metacarpal (ring finger), and there's no idea when he'll be back:

Yahoo Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Leonard will see a specialist on Thursday:

As Mike Monroe of the San Antonio Express-News pointed out, the Spurs have now lost three starters to injury in January alone, with Leonard joining Tiago Splitter and Danny Green:

For Leonard, the injury puts a damper on what was previously a good day, following his inclusion in USA Basketball's 28-player pool, per ESPN's Marc Stein:

Entering Wednesday, the 22-year-old was fourth on the team in points per game (11.8) and tied for third in rebounding (6.2). It's Leonard's defense that will be irreplaceable, though. He's one of the best perimeter defenders in the league.

If the Spurs don't want to lose any ground in a loaded Western Conference, they'll be hoping the injury isn't too serious.
