Kawhi Leonard Pushes Back Against NBA's New Player Participation Policy

Leonard argues he only sat out games due to injuries, not for rest, despite missing significant time in recent seasons.
The new policy sets restrictions on resting multiple star players and aims to ensure availability for national TV games.
Both Leonard and teammate Paul George emphasize they will play whenever they are healthy.
The league wants to eliminate excessive "load management" and prevent it from damaging viewer engagement.
Teams now face penalties over $1 million for violating rules on resting healthy star players.
