Load management is about to begin in Toronto.
According to journalist Shams Charania, Kawhi Leonard will be sidelined for an indefinite period due to discomfort in his left knee.
Toronto’s Kawhi Leonard is expected to miss a period of weeks due to swelling in his left knee, sources tell ESPN. MRI on Leonard’s knee showed no structural damage, but sides will use the shorter term to ramp him back up after the stoppages during the offseason. https://t.co/DBAgI3v38D

Kawhi, traded this summer from Los Angeles and subsequently re-signed, has appeared in two official games with the Raptors before joining the injury list.
Both games ended in wins, over the Washington Wizards and the Chicago Bulls, respectively.
His averages have been 19.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists in a little over 26 minutes per night.
