Kawhi Leonard has yet to play both nights of a back-to-back this season, and it doesn’t seem like the Toronto Raptors are itching to bring him off said maintenance program. From the Toronto Sun‘s Ryan Wolstat: The Raptors will continue easing Kawhi Leonard into the mix, which likely means a night off on Monday in Utah. [...]

The Toronto Raptors are not entering the regular season committed to a specific rotation or even starting five. They’re going to change things on a game-by-game, even half-by-half, distribution. Head coach Nick Nurse says so. From Josh Lewenberg: According to Toronto’s new head coach, who is known for his innovative mind and willingness to adapt [...]

Danny Green’s Kawhi Leonard takes are music to Toronto Raptors fans’ ears. It would not be a stretch to say most expect the two-time Defensive Player of the Year to head elsewhere as a free agent next summer. At almost every turn since being acquired from the San Antonio Spurs, though, Green has, oft-inadvertently, preached [...]

Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan have had one of the most successful on and off court bromances in recent NBA history as the all-star back court for a 50-win Raptors team over the past five seasons or so. They were able to garner the eastern conference’s No. 1 seed after a 59-win season in 2017-18, [...]

Kawhi Leonard appeared at the Toronto Raptors’ Media Day full of awkward laughs, smiles and, relative to his typical demeanor, candor. This is to say, he wouldn’t commit to staying with the Raptors beyond this season, but he also said he’s looking for reasons to remain.

A majority of people seem to believe the Toronto Raptors have an extremely slim chance of keeping Kawhi Leonard beyond this season. Count Danny Green among the exceptions. Talking on the latest episode of his Inside the Green Room podcast, Green intimated that his teammate of the past seven years will probably have a tough time leaving [...]

Rejoice Toronto Raptors fans, because it seems Kawhi Leonard is approaching his time in Canada with an open mind. Now that doesn’t mean that NBA Sports Books think he will yet. In fact, according to TopBet sportsbook, he’s still not likely to re-sign in Toronto. But one thing that could make the odds a bit [...]

The Toronto Raptors went all in. On a last attempt to tinker their roster to compete for an NBA title with their current core this summer they dealt DeMar DeRozan in a trade to acquire disgruntled star Kawhi Leonard. The trade gives them a better shot now and a clearer path to rebuild in the [...]

Kawhi Leonard will not be attending the non-mandatory Team USA minicamp following his trade to the Toronto Raptors. This should surprise literally no one. Here’s ESPN.com’s Chris Haynes with the deets: [tweet https://twitter.com/ChrisBHaynes/status/1021949785551470592] Though some thought that Leonard would ultimately show in Las Vegas, this was before the San Antonio Spurs officially shipped him elsewhere. [...]

For a short while after Kawhi Leonard was traded to the Toronto Raptors, it sounded like he might try to avoid ever playing for them. Rumors of him potentially not reporting to training camp were bandied about, and there was alway the chance of yet another trade should the Raptors feel like they had no shot [...]
