Kawhi Leonard’s return to the Toronto Raptors comes with significant attention surrounding the NBA’s investigation into his former team, but Leonard made it clear at media day that he has no intention of discussing the matter.
Kawhi Leonard declined to address the NBA's salary cap circumvention investigation concerning the Los Angeles Clippers during Toronto Raptors media day. Leonard requested that reporters focus exclusively on basketball and his return to Toronto, stating that discussions with the league and players association led to the decision to move forward after the situation caused offseason distractions.
