Kawhi Leonard Sidelined Early as Toronto Raptors Struggle

Toronto Raptors forward Kawhi Leonard went down early with an injury, continuing a trend of health management that has kept him off the court. The 35-year-old veteran's absence leaves the Raptors at 3-6 without him this season. Without Leonard and the injured Scottie Barnes, Toronto has struggled to find consistency and optimize its roster performance in early-season matchups against top-tier opponents, putting pressure on the younger supporting cast to step up.
