Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich brought extra salt with him to the playoffs. His extra salt might have something to do with his best player not playing, despite being cleared by the team doctors.
The media asked Pop about whether or not Kawhi Leonard would make an appearance in the playoffs. His response tells you all you need to know.
“You’ll have to ask Kawhi and his group that question.”

Kawhi Leonard and his injury saga is literally driving Pop to the brink of insanity. Before this thing is all said and done, the Spurs will have been swept and Pop will be trying to get Tim Duncan to come back.
