  "summary": "The Toronto Raptors and Los Angeles Clippers have reached an agreement to complete a trade that will see star forward Kawhi Leonard return to Toronto, according to multiple media reports. The deal is expected to be finalized pending a trade call. In return for Leonard, the Clippers will receive All-Star forward Brandon Ingram, guard Gradey Dick, unprotected first-round picks in 2031 and 2033, a 2027 first-round pick swap, and two second-round picks. The trade had been delayed due to an NBA investigation into potential salary-cap circumvention, which concluded on September 2nd with a $700,000 fine for Leonard but no suspension or contract voidance. Leonard, who averaged 27.9 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.9 steals, and 0.4 blocks per game for the Clippers last season, was a key player in the Raptors' 2019 championship run before joining the Clippers as a free agent.",
