NBA ruling clears major hurdle for Kawhi Leonard’s return to Raptors
The NBA has decided not to suspend Kawhi Leonard or void his contract with the Toronto Raptors following its investigation into salary-cap circumvention issues involving the Los Angeles Clippers. This ruling clears a significant hurdle for Leonard's potential return to the Raptors. The league imposed penalties on the Clippers, including the loss of five first-round picks from 2029 through 2033, a US$30 million fine, and suspensions for key personnel.
