What happened
The Raptors will be without Kawhi Leonard for several weeks after left-knee swelling, and an MRI showed no acute injury before treatment and a recheck in a week.
That absence could open more responsibility for Ja'Kobe Walter, who began the season in reserve and recently scored 22 points with five threes in 31 minutes.
