Kawhi Leonard (rest) out vs. Kings

The Raptors will be without their starting small forward on Tuesday night, as Kawhi Leonard is listed as out for the match-up against Sacramento. It will be Leonard’s third straight game on the sideline. The game is the first game of a back-to-back for Toronto, but the Raptors have already announced that Leonard will not be available for Wednesday’s game against the Pacers in Indiana meaning he will be out until they face the Houston Rockets later in the week. Fred VanVleet is expected to remain in the starting lineup in Leonard’s absence.
