Dan Riccio and Lindsay Dunn break down another massive development for the Toronto Raptors as Kawhi Leonard has agreed to a two-year, $115 million contract extension, including a player option for the 2028-29 season. With the blockbuster trade finally official and Leonard now locked into a long-term deal, the Kawhi saga can finally be put behind the Raptors as they turn their attention toward training camp and the 2026-27 NBA season. Dan and Lindsay discuss what Leonard’s commitment means for Toronto’s championship window, how the Raptors stack up as contenders in the Eastern Conference, and whether this roster has enough around Kawhi and Scottie Barnes to make a serious run. Then, attention turns to the Toronto Maple Leafs as they prepare for their final night of preseason action against the Ottawa Senators. They break down the latest Leafs line combinations, who’s playing with who, what they’ll be watching for against Ottawa and the biggest questions still facing Jim Hiller’s lineup before Toronto opens the regular season against the Montreal Canadiens on September 29. NHL insider David Pagnotta joins the show to discuss the latest news and rumours from around the league, including the Maple Leafs, Morgan Rielly’s future in Toronto and whether a trade could eventually be on the table, plus much more from across the NHL. Finally, the Blue Jays are back in action against the Baltimore Orioles for a doubleheader after Tuesday’s game was postponed due to rain, with Toronto’s MLB playoff hopes hanging by a thread as the 2026 season reaches its final days.
