Raptors confirm Kawhi Leonard is returning to Toronto
Kawhi Leonard trade sends him back to the Raptors in a blockbuster deal. See the full package, draft picks, and what this move means for Toronto.
The Toronto Raptors and the Los Angeles Clippers have agreed to complete a trade that will send forward Kawhi Leonard back to Toronto.
The Raptors announced the move on X on Monday evening, while ESPN’s Shams Charania first reported the agreement. The deal had been delayed during an NBA investigation into possible salarycap circumvention by Leonard and the Clippers.
Under the trade, the Clippers are set to receive Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick, an unprotected firstround pick in 2031 and 2033, a 2027 firstround pick swap, and two secondround picks. Leonard is expected to speak at Raptors media day on Sept. 28.
