Toronto Raptors star Kawhi Leonard has committed his immediate future to the franchise, agreeing to a two-year, $115 million contract extension, his agent, Harrison Gaines of SLASH Sports, told ESPN on Tuesday.
The deal also includes a player option for the 2028-29 season, giving Leonard the ability to decide his own fate for that campaign. The agreement was confirmed on Tuesday.
For the Raptors, the extension represents a significant investment in a player who has been central to the team's identity. Locking in a star of Leonard's caliber provides roster stability and signals the organization's intent to remain competitive in the Eastern Conference.
The player option for the 2028-29 season adds a layer of flexibility for Leonard, allowing him to reassess his position with the franchise when that season arrives. Such provisions have become common in extensions for top-tier players, balancing long-term security for the team with optionality for the athlete.
The agreement was reported by ESPN, with Leonard's agent, Harrison Gaines of SLASH Sports, confirming the terms to the outlet on Tuesday.
