Raptors power forward Serge Ibaka recently sat down for a wide-ranging interview with theScore. In what was the debut episode of “Thanks For Stopping By,” Ibaka noted his excitement to play with a fully-healthy Kawhi Leonard.

The Raptors are off to an excellent start this season. In fact, Toronto has played their way to a 10-1 record thus far. Leonard played a big role in that success during the early stages of the season, but he's been dealing with a foot/ankle injury as of late, which forced him to miss Monday night's 124-111 victory over the Utah Jazz.

Ibaka, who racked up a career-high 34 points in Sunday's win over the Los Angeles Lakers, says he can't wait to see Leonard at 100 percent.

“Man, that boy … I don't even think he's 100 percent yet,” Ibaka tells theScore. “I just can't wait to see him at 100 percent. It's going to be scary. He gives us a lot on both ends of the floor.”

Leonard, now 27 years of age, has made seven appearances with the Raptors this season, averaging 26.1 points on 50.4 percent shooting from the field (44.8 percent from beyond the arc), 7.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 2.0 steals in 34.0 minutes per outing.

Leonard tested his ankle during Monday's pregame routines, but it still felt a bit off. OG Anunoby was given a starting nod in his place. For now, it sounds like Leonard will be day-to-day.

The Raptors will be back in action on Wednesday night, when they'll travel to Sacramento for a match-up against the Kings. Tip-off inside the Golden 1 Center is set for 10:00 p.m. EST.
