Kawhi Leonard Sidelined Several Weeks Due to Left Knee Swelling

Toronto Raptors forward Kawhi Leonard is expected to miss a period of weeks due to persistent swelling in his left knee. Leonard was a late scratch prior to Sunday's loss in Minnesota. Medical imaging revealed no acute injury, and he will undergo a treatment and rehabilitation program. The setback will sideline the 35-year-old star for multiple games, including a return trip to face the Los Angeles Clippers at the Intuit Dome.
