What happened

Toronto now expects Kawhi Leonard to miss at least three to four weeks after a closer look at his left knee found the issue worse than first reported.

The Raptors will wait for the knee inflammation to clear before reassessing, and Chris Haynes reported Toronto will then decide how to proceed.

LINEUP CONTEXT

That timeline keeps Leonard out of rotation planning for now and leaves Toronto's next update tied to how his knee responds over the coming weeks.
