Kawhi Leonard’s reunion with the Raptors remains on hold as the NBA continues its investigation into whether the Clippers circumvented the salary cap to pay their former—but also still current—star.
On Wednesday, ESPN’s Baxter Holmes reported that the league’s investigation could go into 2027 if the parties don’t agree on the findings or any proposed settlement that involves punishing the team. The investigation is already closing in on its 11th month and just two weeks ago, NBA commissioner Adam Silver said he was “hopeful” it would be wrapped up by this summer.
