The Toronto Raptors have reached an agreement to acquire Kawhi Leonard from the Los Angeles Clippers, according to Shams Charania on NBA Today.
Leonard, a two-time NBA Finals MVP, returns to the organization where he famously led the franchise to its first NBA Championship during the 2018-19 season. The veteran forward has spent the last several seasons with the Clippers after joining the team as a free agent in 2019 following his historic run in Canada.
Specific details regarding the players or draft picks being sent to the Los Angeles Clippers in exchange for Leonard have not yet been made public. The move represents a massive shift for a Raptors team looking to return to title contention in the Eastern Conference. Leonard remains one of the league's premier two-way stars when healthy, though his recent seasons in Los Angeles were frequently interrupted by injury.
