The Pacers caught a break on their second off day at home on Tuesday when reports surfaced that Kawhi Leonard was not playing in the Raptors’ game against the Kings and would also sit out the team’s road game against the Pacers on Wednesday.
While the Pacers need a win against the Raptors to keep chase in the East, it won’t be easy just because Kawhi is missing as evidenced by the Pacers last trip to Toronto where they were blown out by the Raps’ depth with Kawhi watching in street clothes.
