The Raptors star is receiving treatment for swelling in his left knee, the team's latest injury concern.
Kawhi Leonard's comeback with the Raptors in Toronto has hit an injury setback, the start of his return feeling familiar.
The Raptors forward will sit because of swelling in his left knee and will be re-evaluated in one week.
The star, who returned to the Raptors this summer, has swelling in his knee and will miss several weeks, a blow for Toronto.
Minnesota beat Toronto 117-94 at home, keeping its perfect record intact after a win by more than 20 points.
The star will miss his first game of the year, leaving Toronto short-handed. A road trip to Los Angeles is next on the schedule.
Toronto ruled Leonard out shortly before facing Minnesota because of swelling in his left knee. The team said the issue is not in the knee that needed reconstructive surgery.
Toronto moved to 2-0 with a road victory over Washington, its first there, while Dybansta did not play.
