Kawhi Leonard Rejoins Raptors to Elevate Playoff Ceiling

Kawhi Leonard returns to the Toronto Raptors at age 35 after averaging 27.9 points per game and earning All-NBA Second Team honors. While Leonard is capable of taking over, the plan is for Scottie Barnes, RJ Barrett, and Immanuel Quickley to carry the load during the regular season. Leonard stated he can play off anybody and wants Barnes to remain the primary face of the franchise, stepping in as the go-to option when the team needs him most in high-pressure moments.
