The Toronto Raptors have had a mixed start to the 2026-27 NBA season, currently sitting at 3-3. Kawhi Leonard is set to miss his return game against the Los Angeles Clippers due to a knee injury. Scottie Barnes' availability is uncertain, and Jakob Poeltl, who was out last night with left shoulder bursitis, is also questionable.
Max Strus, who was initially expected to be out for four weeks, is now available, exactly four weeks after the team initially estimated his recovery time. Derrick Jones Jr. is also out with a right knee injury. Both teams are entering the matchup as they come off a back-to-back, with the Raptors recently losing to the Los Angeles Lakers and the Clippers falling to the Stephen Curry-less Golden State Warriors.
With only one win so far this season, the Raptors are optimistic about their chances of securing a victory, but having Barnes available would be a significant boost. The game is scheduled for Monday evening at 10:00 pm ET at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood.
