Toronto Raptors star Kawhi Leonard will miss weeks with swelling in his left knee after an MRI showed no structural damage, and the Raptors say he will be re-evaluated in 1 week. Shams Charania reports Kawhi is expected to miss "a period of weeks", while Michael Grange says at minimum he misses both home games against the Orlando Magic and the back to back in LA, including his first game against the LA Clippers since the trade. We break down what the injury update really says, why the Raptors are ramping him up slowly after the 76 day trade delay, what Kawhi gave Toronto in his first 2 games, and who has to step up: Scottie Barnes, RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley, Ja'Kobe Walter, Collin Murray-Boyles and Jakob Poeltl. Ben Rogers breaks it all down.

While Kawhi is out, who needs to step up the most? Comment S for Scottie Barnes or Q for Immanuel Quickley.
