Toronto Raptors star Kawhi Leonard will miss at least one more week as he continues to recover from a knee injury, meaning he will sit out a minimum of three more games.
The Raptors announced on Tuesday that Leonard, who has been sidelined since Oct. 23, is “continuing the reconditioning process” after undergoing treatment to address swelling in his left knee. The team said it will update Leonard’s status in a week.
Injury history
Leonard, 35, has already missed eight games this season. An MRI on his knee last month showed no structural damage. The seven-time All-Star previously had issues with his right knee, undergoing multiple surgeries for his meniscus and ACL.
Contract and form
In two games this season, Leonard is averaging 19.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.5 steals. He is in his first season back with the Raptors after being traded to Toronto from the Clippers this offseason, following a scandal-marred conclusion to his six seasons in Los Angeles.
Leonard agreed to a two-year, $115 million contract extension with the Raptors after the trade.
