Kawhi Leonard and the Toronto Raptors have engaged in advanced discussions regarding a new contract extension.
Leonard agreed to sign the extension immediately following his trade to the Raptors. The forward is expected to receive $126 million over two years.
The Raptors officially finalized Leonard’s trade with the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday. This occurred more than two months after the initial agreement between the parties. The NBA had initially blocked the transfer due to Leonard’s involvement in a salary cap circumvention case concerning the Clippers.
