Kawhi Leonard injury update: Latest news on Raptors star forward
Kawhi Leonard’s Toronto debut hits a snag as the 35‑year‑old small forward is sidelined with left‑knee swelling. NBA insider Shams Charania reports an MRI shows no structural damage, but the Raptors expect Leonard to miss several weeks while undergoing treatment and rehab, with a re‑evaluation in a week. Leonard had been averaging 19.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists in the first two games, including a 117‑94 loss to Minnesota without him. The injury follows a high‑profile trade from the Clippers and a promising preseason ramp‑up, leaving fans uncertain about his immediate impact.
Patriots trade rumor lays out uninspiring deadline expectation
The New England Patriots are expected to stay quiet at the NFL trade deadline on Nov. 10, likely making only minor depth additions rather than a big splash. Mass Live’s Karen Guregian says the Patriots may target guard, interior defensive line, and edge‑rusher spots, with guard being the top need. While the Super Bowl‑bound team could be tempted to trade for players like Colts guard Quenton Nelson or DT DeForest Buckner, both would cost significant draft capital, and the Pats appear unwilling to make such an investment. The article also notes the Colts’ own trade considerations as the deadline looms.
