Clippers trading Kawhi Leonard back to Raptors for players and picks: Report
Toronto would receive Leonard, while the Clippers would get Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick and multiple draft picks, ESPN reported.
- The Toronto Raptors are close to trading for Kawhi Leonard from the Los Angeles Clippers, offering Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick, two first-round picks, a pick swap, and multiple second-round picks in return, per ESPN's Shams Charania.
- Leonard previously led the Raptors to their first NBA championship in 2019 and is willing to sign an extension with Toronto, which influenced the team's decision to trade for him.
- The Clippers acquired Leonard in 2019 after he helped Toronto win the NBA title, but his tenure in Los Angeles was marked by injuries and limited playoff success, and he is now in the final year of his contract.
- Leonard's return to Toronto is expected to reshape the Raptors' roster significantly as they aim to build around the seven-time All-Star, who had career highs in points and shooting percentages last season.
