What happened: RJ Barrett told Kawhi Leonard he jumped up and down when the 2019 shot fell. Barrett was preparing for the draft and watching the games from the Toronto area.

Why it matters: Leonard returns for a second stint in Toronto alongside Barrett. He agreed to a two-year, $115 million extension ahead of the 2026-27 season.

What to watch: Toronto opens camp with the new rotation to integrate ahead of the 2026-27 season.
