Kawhi Leonard, met with rousing ovation and championship ring, leaves Toronto with convincing Clippers win

Kawhi Leonard delivered the Toronto Raptors their first and only NBA championship last season.

Then he left town.

He made his first return to Toronto on Wednesday since signing with the Los Angeles Clippers in the offseason.

The Raptors faithful didn’t forget his contributions, offering a rousing reception to the 2019 NBA Finals MVP when he was introduced as a member of the visiting team. And when the night was done, his Clippers picked up a convincing 112-92 win.

Kyle Lowry and an appreciative Raptors crowd gave Kawhi Leonard a warm welcome in his return to Toronto.
