The Raptors say Kawhi Leonard will miss at least one more week as he recovers from swelling in his left knee.
No hard info here, but given Leonard is week-to-week & will need multiple live practices before playing, maybe Friday Nov. 27th makes sense as a target? Raptors play one game between Nov. 21 & Nov. 27th. Are at home for six straight days so will have some practice time.
