Why has 2025 gone cold on college basketball's biggest names?

After Kawhi Leonardrepeatedly told the Spurs he’d play then didn’t, his teammates held a players-only meeting imploring him to play. Leonard stood his ground and said, despite his desire to return, he wouldn’t guarantee playing again that season. Tony Parker, who had already returned to the lineup, said his quad injury was “100 times worse� than Leonard’s and went out of his way to say he never considered getting a second opinion from outside the Spurs.
