Kawhi Leonard Out Sunday With Knee Swelling

Kawhi Leonard will miss Sunday night’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves because of knee swelling, the Raptors announced. He played 24 minutes in the opener against Chicago and 28 minutes Friday against Washington, scoring 23 and 16 points in Toronto’s two wins. Leonard said after opening night, “You can’t rush greatness,” when asked about getting back to full minutes. The Raptors are taking it slow with his ramp-up, especially with his injury history. Collin Murray-Boyles and Allen Graves could get extra run, and Kawhi’s next chance to return is Wednesday against Orlando.
