Apr 21, 2019 | 6:19 PM

ORLANDO, Fla. — Raptors star Kawhi Leonard said he’s feeling better ahead of Sunday’s Game 4 of Toronto’s first-round playoff series against Orlando.

Leonard had an off-night in Toronto’s 98-93 victory over the Magic in Friday’s Game 3, scoring 16 points on 5-for-19 shooting. 

Coach Nick Nurse revealed after the game that Leonard had been feeling under the weather and hadn’t practised in two days, calling Leonard’s performance that night “gutsy.”

“Just some flu-like symptoms,” Leonard said at Sunday morning’s shootaround. “It doesn’t mean anything. No excuses over here. That’s why I didn’t say anything to nobody.”
