The trade involving Kawhi Leonard between the Los Angeles Clippers and Toronto Raptors is currently on hold due to an ongoing investigation into alleged salary cap circumvention. The Raptors were set to send several players and draft picks to the Clippers, but both teams decided to pause the deal pending the investigation’s outcome, which NBA Commissioner Adam Silver expects to conclude before the 2026-27 season. The Clippers are open to having Leonard return if the trade falls through, while the Raptors remain interested but cautious. Brandon Ingram, included in the trade, is reportedly unfazed by the situation, understanding the business aspect of the NBA.
