Summary
Toronto would abandon its agreed trade for Kawhi Leonard only if the NBA voids his contract in the Clippers salary-cap probe, according to Raptors reporter Josh Lewenberg.
A suspension would not kill the deal, with the Raptors still acting like a team that expects Leonard on next season's roster despite last week's warning that penalties could affect them.
The trade was thrown into limbo after the NBA told Toronto it could face fallout from sanctions tied to the Clippers' 2019 signing of Leonard.
Leonard remains a central figure in Toronto after leading the franchise to its lone NBA title in his only season there before leaving for the Clippers in 2019.
