What happened

The Raptors said Tuesday that Kawhi Leonard has finished treatment for left-knee swelling and will begin his return-to-play process in Toronto.

Leonard has missed five straight games, and Toronto plans to update his progress in one week after his Oct. 25 warmup injury scare.

LINEUP CONTEXT

Toronto may need to keep adjusting without him until the next update, because his availability remains uncertain after five consecutive absences.
