Toronto Raptors could finalize Kawhi Leonard trade after investigation resolves

A proposed trade that would send Kawhi Leonard back to the Toronto Raptors may be completed soon, with reports suggesting the NBA is nearing a resolution regarding their investigation into the LA Clippers. The investigation relates to potential salary cap circumvention involving undisclosed endorsements for Leonard. Initially paused due to concerns that the Raptors would assume penalties against Leonard, the trade could go through if a negotiated settlement is reached. The Clippers are set to receive Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick, and two first-round picks as part of the deal. Both teams are reportedly eager to finalize the trade even as the investigation continues into early next year.
