Star forward Kawhi Leonard is said to be open to rejoining the Toronto Raptors, a move that would reunite him with the franchise he helped lead to an NBA championship seven years ago, according to a report published Thursday.
The New York Post story states that while Leonard has shown interest in a possible Raptors reunion, the Los Angeles Clippers are still viewed by league sources as the favorites to keep the two-time Finals MVP in Southern California.
Leonard spent the 2018-19 season in Toronto, earning Finals MVP honors as the Raptors captured their first title. He signed with the Clippers as a free agent in the summer of 2019 and has played in Los Angeles ever since.
The Post did not specify a timeline for Leonard’s decision or detail potential contract terms, but noted that uncertainty surrounding his future has prompted both Toronto and Los Angeles to prepare for multiple scenarios.
