Kawhi Leonard’s Goodbye Text to Raptors Group Chat Revealed

While many originally believed Kawhi Leonard would leave Toronto soon as the 2018-19 season ended, the narrative and free agency predictions changed once he led the Raptors to their first NBA Finals victory in franchise history.

Raptors young star Pascal Siakam was one of the people that believed there was a solid chance Kawhi Leonard would sign with the team after winning the Finals. But unfortunately, things didn’t take a turn in Toronto’s favor.

Pascal Siakam recalls Kawhi Leonard breaking the harsh news to the Raptors in their group chat. Siakam said Kawhi Leonard texted the players this:

“Yeah, I’m going home. I appreciate you guys and what we did was special.”
