Leonard Completes Knee Treatment, Begins Return Process

Kawhi Leonard has completed treatment for swelling in his left knee and is beginning the Toronto Raptors’ return-to-play process, but the team has not set a date for his return and plans to provide another update in a week. The Raptors have said tests found no acute or structural damage, though Leonard has missed games while recovering. November 11 against Boston has been mentioned as a possible earliest return, but that date is unconfirmed, and an earlier report suggested he could be sidelined for three to four weeks. His absence is significant for Toronto, which hopes to compete with Leonard back in the lineup.
