What Happened
The anticipated trade of Kawhi Leonard has been temporarily halted as the National Basketball Association (NBA) conducts an investigation into alleged salary cap violations by the Los Angeles Clippers. The Toronto Raptors have placed the trade on hold following a message from the NBA league office regarding the investigation.
This investigation into the Clippers' alleged salary cap infractions is the reason cited for the delay in finalizing the trade. The NBA's involvement means that the transaction cannot be officially completed until the league concludes its review.
