What happened: The Toronto Raptors and LA Clippers agreed June 30 to swap Kawhi Leonard for Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick and draft compensation. The NBA is examining allegations that the Clippers circumvented the salary cap in payments to Leonard dating to 2021.
Why it matters: Toronto cannot complete the deal until the investigation is resolved. The outcome will determine whether both clubs can finalize their planned 2026-27 roster changes before camp.
By the numbers: The trade has been paused for 32 days since Toronto's July 9 decision. Leonard is a seven-time All-Star and the 2019 NBA Finals MVP.
What to watch: Watch for the NBA's resolution and Toronto's corresponding decision on completing the trade before training camp.
