Kawhi Leonard Set for Preseason Debut with Raptors

Kawhi Leonard is scheduled to play for the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday, as confirmed by head coach Darko Rajakovic. This will be Leonard's first appearance since he contributed to the team's championship win in the 2019 NBA Finals.

Leonard has been gradually integrated into the team's training camp and preseason activities, missing the first two preseason games, including a recent victory over the Los Angeles Clippers. In that game, former lottery pick Gradey Dick played 13 minutes against his old team, reflecting on his time with the Raptors as bittersweet.

As he approaches a contract year, Dick aims to secure a place in the rotation, with coach Tyronn Lue highlighting his athleticism and potential as a three-point shooter. Lue expressed confidence in Dick's ability to improve his shooting percentage.
