With NBA All-Star Weekend coming to a close, we're about to embark on the second half of the 2018-19 season, which means the KawhiΒ Leonard experiment with the Toronto Raptors could also be coming to an end. Just last month, league executives dwindled down Leonard's options this summerΒ to remaining with the Raptors or going back to his home state of California to play with the Los Angeles Clippers. At this point, KawhiΒ could be leaning in one direction.Β 

Robert Littal, founder of BlackSportsOnline, tried to see if Leonard would tip his hand when asked to give his thoughts about Toronto.Β

Maybe there's still a chance that Leonard ends up staying with the Raptors, but it's going to be difficult for him to choose the cold weather in Toronto over what Cali has to offer.Β
