TORONTO — Kawhi Leonard is sitting out a second straight game for the Toronto Raptors.

Toronto rested the forward Saturday night against the Memphis Grizzlies due to load management.

"We've had so many guys in and out," Toronto head coach Nick Nurse said prior to Saturday night's game.

"I'm serious, it's a good thing I spent some time in the G League because it's about this time every night I'd know who was playing."

Leonard didn't play in Toronto's 111-109 home win over Phoenix on Thursday night.

He had a team-high 33 points in Toronto's 117-108 road loss to Boston on Wednesday night, his NBA-high 20th straight contest with 20-plus points.

This season, Leonard is averaging 27.6 points, 7.9 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 36 games.
