Toronto Raptors star forward Kawhi Leonard will be rested against the Washington Wizards and will not play Saturday, one day after leading Toronto to a victory over the Boston Celtics.
The Raptors announced that Leonard and guard Delon Wright (hip) will both miss their road game in Washington.
It will be the third game in four nights to open the season for the Raptors, who rallied for a 113-101 victory Friday over the Celtics thanks, in part, to Leonard's 31 points and 10 rebounds.
Leonard appeared in just nine games last season with the Spurs because of a nagging quadriceps injury.
