Kawhi Leonard left the game against the Phoenix Suns with just under three minutes remaining when he appeared to land awkwardly looking to attack the offensive glass against Trevor Ariza on a drive by Kyle Lowry.
The Toronto Raptors were leading 101-87 at the time.
The team later confirmed that Leonard jammed his left foot and Doug Smith of the Toronto Star also reported that he seemed to be walking just fine in the locker room.

Eric Smith of Sportsnet also confirmed that he spoke to Leonard and that the player himself expected to be just fine.
I just spoke to Kawhi Leonard. "I think it's going to be alright. Nothing major."

More from Kawhi Leonard: "I just pushed off on it…kind of rolled it just pushing off and wanted to get a look at it (re: why he left the floor and headed to the locker room)."

Also of note, Danny Green was inadvertently poked in his left eye by teammate Serge Ibaka but did return to the game. We’ll post video of Nick Nurse’s post-game comments when it’s up.
Sleep easy, folks.
