LOS ANGELES — Kawhi Leonard sat out with foot soreness as the Toronto Raptors dismantled the Los Angeles Lakers 121-107 Sunday night at Staples Center.
His status for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz is unclear.
Leonard injured his left foot late in the fourth quarter of Toronto's win at Phoenix on Friday night, and coach Nick Nurse says the Raptors are being careful with their superstar.
The decision deprived Lakers fans of their only chance this season to see Leonard, who could be an unrestricted free agent coveted by their team next summer. Leonard grew up in Southern California's Inland Empire area, one hour east of Los Angeles.
Leonard is sitting out for the third time in his first 10 games with the Raptors. He missed two games last month, skipping half of two back-to-back sets.
