Raptors Wait on Kawhi Leonard Trade Due to NBA Investigation

The NBA told Toronto they are responsible for any outcome from the investigation.

The Toronto Raptors have put their trade for Kawhi Leonard on hold after the NBA said the team would be responsible for any outcome from the investigation into the Los Angeles Clippers.

The proposed trade would send several players and picks to the Clippers for Leonard.

The NBA started an investigation in September after allegations that Leonard signed a $28-million US endorsement deal that required no work.

The company, Aspiration, went bankrupt after its co-founder was charged with fraud, but Leonard has not been charged.

Kawhi Leonard could return to the Toronto Raptors in a big trade.

The Raptors will wait until the investigation is complete before moving ahead with the trade.

The NBA told the Raptors they would be responsible for any potential outcome of the investigation involving the Clippers.

The Raptors want to bring Kawhi back to Toronto and are looking forward to a swift resolution.

Leonard may return to the Raptors in a big trade with the Clippers.

The Clippers are confident that the investigation will show they did nothing wrong.

The Clippers said they are confident the NBA will confirm they did not do what they are accused of.

Leonard led the Raptors to their only NBA championship in 2019.

He is 35 years old but had his best scoring season, averaging 27.9 points for the Clippers.

Leonard is a seven-time All-Star and one of the game's top defensive players.

Leonard attended Kyle Lowry's retirement ceremony in Toronto on Tuesday.

Leonard has a new agent and is in contract talks with the Raptors as part of the trade.
