Clippers trading Kawhi Leonard back to Raptors for players and picks: Report
Toronto acquires former Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard, aiming to bolster their roster for the next few seasons with his elite offense and defense, despite injury risks.
- On Tuesday, the Toronto Raptors acquired Kawhi Leonard from the Los Angeles Clippers, reuniting the former Finals MVP with the franchise seven years after his free-agency departure.
- Although Leonard is 35 years old, the forward averaged 27.9 points per game last season, his best offensive output despite appearing in only 59% of Clippers games during his tenure.
- Toronto is sending a package headlined by Brandon Ingram to the Clippers to finalize the deal, while retaining rookie Collin Murray-Boyles to maintain their young core.
- While Leonard provides veteran presence, Scottie Barnes remains the face of the Raptors, with the 10-year age gap positioning the younger star for long-term development.
- Adding Leonard into the mix positions Toronto as a top contender in the East for the upcoming season, with the forward planning to remain beyond the 2026-27 campaign.
