The proposed deal that would send forward Kawhi Leonard from the Los Angeles Clippers to the Toronto Raptors has been put on hold, according to a report published Tuesday, July 9, 2026.
Negotiations stalled after Toronto declined to assume potential liabilities tied to an ongoing “Aspiration” investigation involving the Clippers, freezing the transaction for the time being.
Neither franchise has publicly addressed the status of the talks or outlined a timetable for resolving the investigation, leaving Leonard’s immediate future with Los Angeles uncertain.
