OutKnee — Leg — InflammationEst. return Nov 23

Leonard (knee) is expected to miss multiple weeks due to swelling in his left knee, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

An MRI revealed no structural damage, but the Raptors will take a cautious approach with Leonard's recovery following interruptions to his offseason preparation. The veteran forward was a late scratch for Sunday's loss to Minnesota and now faces an extended absence just two games into the 2026-27 campaign. Allen Graves, who started in Leonard's place Sunday, figures to benefit from additional playing time, while RJ Barrett and Scottie Barnes could absorb more offensive responsibility.

How it's counted

Each situation shows this player's numbers in those games, with the difference from their full-season line in parentheses. The definition sits under each situation name. Situations overlap: one game can count in several.

True shooting is one shooting number that folds in threes and free throws; its differences are in points of TS%. Every final box score counts — there is no minutes cutoff. Fewer than 5 games reads as a small sample. These splits describe what happened. They do not prove the schedule caused it.
