Kawhi Leonard Sidelined for Several Weeks

Toronto Raptors forward Kawhi Leonard is set to miss several weeks due to inflammation in his left knee. Medical evaluations revealed no structural damage, meaning the 35-year-old will not require surgery at this stage.

Leonard has dealt with knee issues throughout his career, but managed to play 65 games last season with the Los Angeles Clippers, averaging 27.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 3.6 assists per contest.

During the offseason, he completed a move to Toronto—the franchise he led to the 2019 NBA championship while earning Finals MVP honors.
