Toronto Raptors star forward Kawhi Leonard will miss his third consecutive week due to continued reconditioning for his left knee injury.

Leonard has been sidelined since playing in the Raptors' second game of the season on Oct. 23 against the Washington Wizards due to persistent swelling in his knee. The team announced on Tuesday that he is continuing his reconditioning process after treatment to address his knee injury. A new update will be provided in one week.

Originally, Leonard's injury didn't seem like it was anything more than day-to-day after he missed a game on Oct. 25 against the Minnesota Timberwolves. However, the Raptors announced on Oct. 27 that he would undergo a treatment and rehab program to address the swelling in his left knee.

Since then, Leonard has missed eight straight games, and he will now miss at least one more week's worth of action.

This is a developing story that will be updated shortly.
