The Toronto Raptors' 107-98 win over the Phoenix Suns on Friday included a potential loss.
Forward Kawhi Leonard was injured late in the fourth quarter; Coach Nick Nurse said after the game that Leonard had a stuck foot. Leonard seemed to be walking carefully a few moments after being beaten to take a position in the painting while in possession of the Raptors.

Leonard and Nurse both said the injury did not seem to be serious.
And Kawhi either:

Leonard scored 19 points, a top in the team, as well as six rebounds, five assists, two interceptions and one blocked shot.
Any potential injury is a concern with regard to the double star. He missed all but nine games last season with the San Antonio Spurs because of a long injury to the right quadriceps. The Raptors have rested Leonard twice this season to manage his workload.
In the games Leonard played, he showed his talent of MVP caliber. The defensive player of the year averages 27.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.0 steals for the Raptors.
The next game of the Raptors is a high-flying match against the Lakers on Sunday night.
