VANCOUVER—Canadians continue to be stereotypically polite to former Toronto Raptors star Kawhi Leonard. The latest example came Thursday when Leonard made his Canadian homecoming with the Los Angeles Clippers for a pre-season game in Vancouver. But it wasn’t the first time the reigning NBA Finals MVP received a warm greeting from Canucks since leaving Toronto. A similar scene greeted the team as players walked through Vancouver’s streets before the game, said Clippers rookie Terance Mann. They came up with a “load management” regime that saw Leonard play 60 regular-season games, while sitting out for 22.
