What happened: The Toronto Raptors ruled out Kawhi Leonard for knee injury management ahead of Monday's game in Los Angeles. Scottie Barnes is questionable due to a left hip injury, while Jakob Poeltl is questionable with left shoulder bursitis. Max Strus is listed as available.

Why it matters: Toronto faces depth concerns across its frontcourt after a 131-125 defeat against the Los Angeles Lakers. Any absence for Barnes or Poeltl leaves the Raptors further depleted alongside Leonard.

By the numbers: Barnes recorded 29 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists in Toronto's 131-125 loss to the Lakers.

What to watch: Toronto will determine the final status of Barnes and Poeltl prior to tipoff.
