Kawhi Leonard expected to miss about three or four weeks, Chris Haynes says

The expectation is that Kawhi Leonard will miss about three or four weeks because of the swelling in his left knee, Chris Haynes said Thursday on The Association.

The Raptors said in a press release Tuesday that Leonard will undergo treatment and a rehab program after imaging showed no acute injury in the knee, and that they will re-evaluate him in one week. Shams Charania reported Tuesday that Toronto expects to be without the 35-year-old forward for a period of weeks.

Leonard has not played since the swelling ruled him out of Sunday’s game at Minnesota. Ja’Kobe Walter entered the starting lineup in his place.
