During a press conference Monday in which he was officially introduced as a member of the Toronto Raptors, NBA star Kawhi Leonard said he is ready to play basketball after mysteriously missing most of last season with the San Antonio Spurs. According to Deadspin, Leonard said, "I want to play here. I came in with an open mind. I want to do great things and focus on this year. If you’re looking toward the future you’re going to trip over the present.” Leonard, who played only nine games with the Spurs before sitting out the rest of the year due to an injury and other undisclosed reasons, was traded to the Raptors in July.
