What happened: Kawhi Leonard is likely to sit out when the Toronto Raptors travel to Vancouver for upcoming preseason action. The absence is part of an ongoing conditioning plan designed to prepare the forward for the regular season.

Why it matters: Toronto recently signed Kawhi Leonard to a two-year, $115 million extension following his acquisition via trade. Managing his workload during the exhibition schedule prioritizes his availability when the regular season begins.

By the numbers: Score: Miami Heat 20, Toronto Raptors 12. Game is IN PROGRESS (not final).

What to watch: The Toronto Raptors visit Southern California for a regular-season trip in early November.
