Kawhi Leonard re-signed with the Los Angeles Clippers Thursday in four-year, $176.3 million deal.

Leonard,  who previously declined his player option for the upcoming season to become a free agent, told the team last Friday that he was returning, and they’ve now finalized the deal. Leonard is expected to miss significant time next season as he continues to recover from surgery last month to repair a partially-torn ACL.
