Leonard (shoulder) was able to do some light shooting prior to Monday's game against the Spurs, Joe Freeman of The Oregonian reports.

Analysis:

Leonard was ultimately ruled out for a third straight game due to the dislocated left shoulder, but the fact that he was able to shoot suggests that perhaps the big man's injury isn't as serious as anticipated. The Trail Blazers never offered a concrete timetable for Leonard's recovery, but it had been speculated that he'd be sidelined at least a month due to the injury. Though it's not guaranteed that Leonard will miss such a long period of time, he'll probably need to take part in a few more basketball-related activities before he starts trending closer to a return.
