Kawhi Leonard Trade Rumors: Could the Spurs or Raptors Bring Him Back?
Toronto has explored a reunion with the seven-time All-Star, who would consider an extension if dealt, according to NBA insider Jake Fischer.
- On Thursday, NBA insider Jake Fischer reported the Toronto Raptors have registered interest in reuniting with seven-time All-Star Kawhi Leonard, who would be open to signing a contract extension if traded to the team.
- Brian Windhorst suggested Thursday the NBA might halt any trade or extension for Leonard pending resolution of its investigation into alleged salary cap circumvention by the Los Angeles Clippers.
- While Fischer reported Leonard prefers remaining with the Clippers, who are "undeniably determined to keep" him, the forward would only consider long-term extensions with the Raptors or the San Antonio Spurs if traded.
- The Los Angeles Clippers believe they have avenues to fortify their roster and maintain Western Conference contention, though reporter Chris Haynes noted he does not expect Leonard to play on an expiring deal.
- Leonard is coming off one of his healthiest seasons, averaging 27.9 points and 1.9 steals in 65 appearances, after famously leading the Raptors to their first-ever NBA championship in 2019.
