The long-delayed trade sending Kawhi Leonard from the Los Angeles Clippers back to the Toronto Raptors has officially been approved by both teams, bringing an end to months of uncertainty surrounding the deal. The move comes amid the NBA’s investigation into allegations that the Clippers provided Leonard with impermissible benefits.
The trade was initially agreed to on June 30, with Leonard returning to Toronto, where he led the Raptors to their first NBA championship in 2019.

Alexander Zverev knew he was in the way of history at the 2026 US Open men's final. He didn't look too bothered.
Facing No. 8 seed Ben Shelton and an Arthur Ashe Stadium crowd rooting against him, Zverev navigated every challenge until he was celebrating a 6-3, 7-6, 5-7, 6-2 win. The wait will go on for the first American male Grand Slam title since 2003.
It is the second Grand Slam title of Zverev's career, which looked like it would be defined by a lack of such titles entering 2026. Zverev's place in history seemed clear at that point, a great player who could never get through historical greats like Carlos Alcaraz or Jannik Sinner when it mattered most.
We're not sure that's changed......
