How can you not love Scottie 😭 The Raptors heading into 2026-27 with Kawhi Leonard back in the fold have real reason to believe. Toronto already improved by 16 wins last season and pushed the Cavaliers to seven games in the first round, and now they’re adding a guy who averaged a career-high 27.9 points a game and made All-NBA Second Team just last year, not some washed-up version of the 2019 champion. Pairing Kawhi with Scottie Barnes gives this roster a real one-two punch that could make them a genuine pain in the East all season long. Health’s still the obvious question mark since this team looks completely different if Kawhi misses extended time, but on paper, Toronto might be the league’s true dark horse this year. Can Kawhi and Scottie Barnes push the Raptors back into real title contention? (tsn_official/x) #raptors #kawhileonard #scottiebarnes
