After very impressive meetings with the Toronto Raptors and others yesterday, reigning NBA Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard and his team haven’t made a decision and there won’t any announcement TODAY. Enjoy the 4th of July #KawhiWatch
Carter has close ties to Leonard’s camp. This as close to an official announcement as we’ll get.
Leonard can’t stop someone from reporting where he’ll sign. But he has kept everything tight. It seems unlikely news will break outside his terms.
There are indications Leonard will re-sign with the Raptors, but I’ve seen no good reason to rule out the Lakers or Clippers. We’ll get an announcement in due time – just not today.
