Leonard will make his debut in his second stint with the Raptors.

Kawhi Leonard was a full participant in practice on Monday.

It was the first full practice for Leonard since training camp started. He is on track to be good to go for the start of the season.

Kawhi Leonard has agreed to a two-year, $115 million extension with the Toronto Raptors. The deal includes a player option for the 2028-29 season.

Fantasy Impact

Leonard’s wild offseason continues, with today’s headline being a hefty pay day from Toronto. He’s going to be heavily featured on this promising Raptors squad, and should be a top pick in fantasy drafts.

Kawhi Leonard will not face a suspension as the NBA concludes their year long probe into salary cap circumvention. The Clippers owner Steve Balmer is suspended for a year, and the team will forfeit their first round picks in 2029, 30, 31, 32, and 2033.

Fantasy Impact

On the bright side, at least for fantasy, Kawhi will not face suspension following the Aspiration dealings. So it’s likely that his trade to Toronto will go through. Wherever he ends up, he’s going to be just fine for fantasy. It is a big blow to the Clippers, however, who have lost a mighty amount of draft capital and flexibility in making trades to set up their future.

Kawhi Leonard is increasingly likely to be headed back to the Raptors, as the teams are nearing a deal that would send Leonard to Toronto for Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dock, two firsts, a first round swap, and two seconds round picks.

Fantasy Impact

A Kawhi reunion with Toronto seems inevitable no. Though it’s a vastly different team now than it was during his title run with them, his ability on both sides of the floor even at his age paired with the talent Toronto has acquired since then should put them in the running as one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference.
