Kawhi Leonard’s return to Toronto in a blockbuster trade with the Clippers is electrifying the NBA — and the city. After a career year and All-NBA honors, the 35-year-old superstar is back with the Raptors, hoping to reignite championship dreams in a city that remembers him for their 2019 title. His Clippers tenure, marred by injuries and playoff disappointments, contrasts sharply with the instant East contender he could become for Toronto. Fans are buzzing, and even Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, traded away years ago in the deal that birthed the Thunder’s current core, acknowledges Leonard’s impact. It’s a full-circle moment — Leonard’s past moves helped build Oklahoma City’s future, while his return could spark Toronto’s next run.
