What happened: The June 30 agreement would send Kawhi Leonard to Toronto for Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick and draft compensation. Toronto paused the deal July 9 pending the NBA’s investigation into alleged salary-cap circumvention by the Clippers.

Why it matters: Toronto would assume the risk of any NBA action affecting Leonard’s contract. His agent has remained in contact with the NBPA as the parties work toward a resolution.

What to watch: Watch for the NBA’s findings and whether Toronto accepts the exposure required to finalize the swap.
