Nick Nurse sees no reason why Raptors forward Kawhi Leonard should sit out Sunday’s NBA all-star game. ( Rick Madonik / Toronto Star file photo )Leonard sat out the Raptors’ game against the Washington Wizards at Scotiabank Arena on Wednesday night with left knee soreness. “I think those are the things when you look back, you know, and say, ‘Man, I played in 10 all-star games, or eight all-star games or six, or whatever it is for a guy,’” said Nurse. It was a fun game to coach last year, I know that.” Wednesday was the 16th game Leonard has missed out of the 59 the Raptors have played. The 24-year-old is averaging 10.5 points, 4.6 assists and 2.7 rebounds in 51 games this season, including 22 starts.
