Kawhi Leonard revine la Toronto, echipa cu care a câștigat titlul NBA și trofeul de MVP în 2019

Kawhi Leonard officially returns to the Toronto Raptors after a trade with the Los Angeles Clippers, which was delayed due to an NBA investigation. Toronto acquires Leonard in exchange for Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick, and multiple draft picks. Leonard waived a $7.45 million trade bonus to comply with salary cap regulations. Raptors' GM Bobby Webster expressed excitement about Leonard's return, highlighting his impact on the team and city. Leonard, a two-time NBA champion and Finals MVP, previously led Toronto to its first championship in 2019. The trade was held up due to allegations against the Clippers regarding salary cap violations, resulting in significant penalties for the franchise.
