Raptors say Leonard will miss at least 1 more week due to knee swelling

Toronto Raptors star Kawhi Leonard will miss at least one more week as he continues to recover from a knee injury.

The Raptors announced Tuesday that Leonard, who has been sidelined since Oct. 23, is "continuing the reconditioning process" after undergoing treatment to address swelling in his left knee.

The Raptors added that they will update Leonard's status in a week, meaning he will miss a minimum of three more games.

Leonard, 35, already has missed eight games this season. An MRI on his knee last month showed no structural damage. The seven-time All-Star previously had issues with his right knee, having multiple surgeries for his meniscus and ACL.

In two games this season, Leonard is averaging 19.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.5 steals. He's in his first season back with the Raptors after being traded to Toronto from the Clippers this offseason after a scandal-marred conclusion to his six seasons in Los Angeles.

Leonard agreed to a two-year, $115 million contract extension with the Raptors after the trade.
