Kawhi Leonard to miss Raptors game due to knee swelling

Toronto Raptors star Kawhi Leonard will miss Sunday night’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves due to inflammation in his left knee. While Leonard has played limited minutes in the first two games of the season, he recorded 23 points in the season opener and 16 points in the team’s recent win over the Wizards.

No specific timeline for his return or imaging results have been released. In his absence, Ja’Kobe Walter is expected to start for the Raptors. Both Toronto and Minnesota entered the matchup with undefeated 2-0 records.
