San Antonio Spurs stars Kawhi Leonard and Tony Parker will miss Tuesday’s game against the Toronto Raptors.
Spurs guard Manu Ginobili is listed as probable, while all-star Pau Gasol, who’s been out indefinitely since last Thursday, and reserve forward Jonathon Simmons will also miss the game.
Leonard, Parker, Gasol and Ginobili were also inactive Monday night in Brooklyn. Leonard was ruled out of Monday’s game just for rest, but his status appears to have been downgraded to a hand injury.
While the Spurs battle injuries, the Raptors are getting a little healthier with the return of Patrick Patterson after he was sidelined for the past seven games with a knee injury.
Patterson will come off the bench Tuesday night for the Raptors, who are shaking up their starting lineup a bit as they try to navigate the DeMar DeRozan injury.

Norman Powell is taking DeRozan’s starting spot and Jared Sullinger slides in for his first start of the season.
Toronto enters its contest with San Antonio looking to snap a three-game losing streak.
