The Toronto Raptors say Kawhi Leonard’s return to Toronto has been delayed, possibly indefinitely.
The Raptors reportedly acquired the seven-time all-star from the Los Angeles Clippers at the end of last month in exchange for Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick, two first-round picks in 2031 and 2033, a pair of second-round picks in 2030 and 2033 and a 2027 first-round pick swap.
However, the Raptors say they were informed by the NBA that, as a result of the ongoing investigation involving the Clippers and Leonard, they would assume the risk of any potential discipline involving Leonard.
The NBA has not indicated when its investigation will be completed.
“In light of this, we will wait until the league’s investigation is complete,” the Raptors said in a brief statement on Thursday.
“The Raptors remain eager to bring Kawhi back to Toronto and look forward to a swift resolution for our players, our organization, and our fans.”
