"It’s noteworthy that while Leonard was given a hefty fine, he was not suspended. The Clippers agreed to trade Leonard to the Raptors in late June forward Brandon Ingram, guard Gradey Dick, two first-round picks, one pick swap, and two second-round selections to L.A. in the deal. The Raptors chose not to make the trade official until the investigation was completed. With Leonard available to participate in training camp and play, it’s likely that trade will be announced shortly."

Leonard, through his new agent, Harrison Gaines, issued the following statement via the NBPA:
“Integrity and respect for this game are fundamental to who I am. I accept full responsibility for lapses in judgment by people within my inner circle and regret the distraction this situation has caused the fans and my family. I entered into my contract with the Clippers as well as the agreements in question in good faith, fully committed to fulfilling my obligations and with no knowledge of any intent on anyone’s part to circumvent the salary cap. For 15 years, my priority has been giving everything to my family, the game, and those I share the court with. As I return to Toronto, I am focused on what I can control, closing this chapter, and moving forward with a clean slate.”
