Kawhi Leonard was ruled out of the Toronto Raptors’ game against the Minnesota Timberwolves because of left knee swelling, a late absence that weakens Toronto in its early-season matchup. Leonard had played the Raptors’ first two games, averaging 19.5 points and 7.5 rebounds, and Allen Graves was expected to take his place in the starting lineup. The injury comes amid a career history of knee issues, though Leonard appeared in 65 games last season with the Clippers.
Where do you stand?
What each side asserts, disputes — or leaves out entirely.
Whose framing of this story rings truest to you?
Allen Graves starting might give him a shot to prove himself, but the Raptors will need strong contributions from everyone else to stay perfect.
Kawhi's knee swelling is a real setback for an undefeated team, and I worry it could affect their momentum even if he rests just this one.
