San Antonio, TX (SportsNetwork.com) – Reigning NBA Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard will be one of three key contributors out for the San Antonio Spurs on opening night.

Leonard will miss Tuesday’s season opener against the Dallas Mavericks with a right eye infection that has kept him out for the entire preseason. The 23- year-old forward out of San Diego State averaged 17.8 points and 6.4 rebounds in last year’s finals and provided stellar defense on Miami Heat star LeBron James.

Starting center Tiago Splitter (strained right calf) and reserve guard Patty Mills (right shoulder surgery) will also be inactive.
