Star forward Kawhi Leonard is out at least one more week as he continues his reconditioning process following treatment to address left knee swelling, the Raptors announced on Tuesday (Twitter link via NBA insider Marc Stein). The update doesn’t come as a surprise, with Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reporting Sunday that Leonard was back with the team but not yet doing on-court work. The 35-year-old has been sidelined since Oct. 23 due to the knee injury. Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca speculates (via Twitter) that Nov. 27 could make sense as a potential return date for Leonard, noting that he’ll need multiple practices before he’s cleared to play again. The Raptors will be in Toronto from Nov. 21 – Nov. 27, Grange observes, giving Leonard ample time at home to ramp up his activity. Here’s more on the banged-up Raptors: Leonard was obviously inactive Monday, but he was back on the bench for the home loss to Memphis, Grange writes in a full story for Sportsnet. All-Star Scottie Barnes (left adductor strain) and starting guard Immanuel Quickley (right hamstring) both missed their second straight games as well. The team hasn’t given any updates on Barnes or Quickley, but Grange expects the Raptors to be cautious with Quickley in particular, given his hamstring issues at the end of the 2025/26 season. Collin Murray-Boyles was also out Monday due to an illness. The timing certainly isn’t ideal, Grange notes, as Toronto’s next four games are against Boston, Philadelphia and New York (twice). While the Raptors came up short on Monday, there were some positives takeaways from the defeat, according to Grange. Jakob Poeltl (18 points on 9-of-12 shooting, seven rebounds, four blocks in 31 minutes) had another solid outing after recently missing a couple games with left shoulder bursitis, and Jamal Shead had his second straight double-double (20 points, 11 assists) after dishing out a career-high 15 assists in Friday’s win at Milwaukee. Head coach Darko Rajakovic was recently asked about the inconsistent playing time backup big man Trayce Jackson-Davis has received thus far this season, Grange adds. Rajakovic implied Jackson-Davis’ minutes, or lack thereof, were tied to his effort. “A lot of motor, energy, being able to guard his position, rebounding,” Rajkovic said of what he wants to see from Jackson-Davis. “He’s a very, very talented player. When he plays with a lot of energy, a lot of motor, he’s an awesome player, he can help us.” In another story for Sportsnet, Grange takes a closer look at Alijah Martin’s career-best performance on Friday and his vow to “stay ready” after that breakthrough. The second-year guard, who re-signed with the Raptors on a two-year, minimum-salary contract in July after spending his rookie campaign on a two-way deal, said he’s still regaining his “explosiveness” following offseason knee surgery. “I remember just preparing for Summer League … I was trying to make a mark there (and) going really hard back in Boca (Raton, Florida) every day with my trainer, and then we got back here (Toronto), and it’s like something (was) still nagging,” said Martin. “We check it out, and then I just gotta get (surgery) done. So I went through that. That was a process itself (and) it’s still a work in progress today. Just feeling all the way 100 percent, and that pop, that explosiveness is still coming back. It’s been a long, long journey, man.”
