What happened: League sources believe the inquiry involving Kawhi Leonard has moved beyond fact-finding, with the parties working toward a resolution. Confidence is growing that the Toronto Raptors' paused trade can be finalized before training camp.

Why it matters: A timely resolution would let Toronto set its 2026-27 roster and integrate Leonard before preseason. The agreed package includes two unprotected first-round picks, a 2027 swap and two second-rounders.

What to watch: Watch for the terms of any league resolution and whether the transaction clears before training camp opens in late September.
