Kawhi Leonard’s trade to the Toronto Raptors is on hold pending the NBA’s investigation into Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers regarding a potential salary cap violation linked to an endorsement deal with Aspiration. The Clippers confirmed the trade agreement from June 30, which involves Leonard moving to Toronto in exchange for Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick, and draft picks, but requires the Raptors to assume any potential penalties. The Clippers maintain their innocence, stating they were victims of fraud by convicted individual Joe Sanberg. Despite the delay, the Raptors are committed to finalizing the trade once the investigation concludes.
