Kawhi Leonard has expressed openness to a contract extension with the Toronto Raptors. The Los Angeles Clippers remain the favorites to retain the forward through the 2026-27 season.
New York PostKawhi Leonard has signaled willingness to sign a contract extension with the Toronto Raptors, according to NBA insider Jake Fischer. Leonard spent one season with the Raptors in 2019, leading the team to its first NBA championship and earning Finals MVP honors.
Leonard signed his first contract with the Los Angeles Clippers after that championship season. He later agreed to two extensions with the Clippers, including a four-year, $176.3 million deal in 2021 and a three-year, $152.4 million agreement in 2024.
Reports indicate the Raptors have interest in acquiring Leonard.
The Detroit Pistons and Miami Heat have also been linked to the forward, though Leonard would reportedly decline extensions with either team. Leonard is said to be considering extensions only with Toronto or the San Antonio Spurs. Any reunion with the Raptors would require the Clippers to make him available for trade.
The Clippers have stated they still see paths to strengthen their roster around Leonard and stay competitive in the Western Conference, Fischer reported.
