The proposed trade between the Los Angeles Clippers and Toronto Raptors involving Kawhi Leonard will not be completed until the NBA finishes its investigation into whether the Clippers circumvented the salary cap.
The league probe has placed the transaction on hold, delaying any formal completion of the deal. No final approval will come until the NBA determines whether any salary-cap violations occurred.
Trade remains in limbo
Leonard, one of the league’s most accomplished two-way players, is central to the proposed move between the two franchises. For now, the Clippers and Raptors must wait for the league’s review process to conclude before the trade can proceed.
The situation leaves the deal unresolved, with the NBA’s findings set to determine whether the transaction can be finalized under league rules.
