Clippers trade Kawhi Leonard back to Raptors amid ongoing investigation
Summary

The Los Angeles Clippers have traded Kawhi Leonard to the Toronto Raptors, concluding his seven-year stint in Los Angeles. Leonard's tenure was marred by injuries and limited playoff success, managing only three series wins and never advancing past the second round. His time with the Clippers was overshadowed by an ongoing NBA investigation into the team's financial practices regarding a deal with Aspiration. The investigation involves Leonard and his uncle, Dennis Robertson, who have been interviewed as part of the inquiry. The Clippers' situation remains unresolved until the league completes its investigation.
