The Story in 60 Seconds

Toronto Raptors forward Kawhi Leonard is reportedly expected to miss at least three to four weeks due to swelling in his left knee, according to NBA insider Chris Haynes. Toronto initially announced Leonard would miss at least one week, but reports from Haynes and ESPN's Shams Charania indicate he will be sidelined for multiple weeks just one week into the season.

Clipperholics argues that Toronto faces immense pressure after committing heavily to the 35-year-old star. The Raptors traded Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick, two unprotected first-round picks, a pick swap, and two second-round picks to the LA Clippers before signing Leonard to a two-year, $115 million extension.
