November 2 is going to be an interesting one.

Kawhi Leonard returns to Intuit Dome for the first time after the trade, but this matchup is also a reminder that both sides have already moved into a new chapter.

Kawhi is back with Toronto.

Brandon Ingram is now part of the Clippers’ new look.

So this isn’t just about a former star coming back to LA. It’s also the first real look at how both teams have changed since the move.

And because it comes on the second night of a back-to-back, there’s still the question of whether Kawhi even suits up.

Either way, Raptors-Clippers just became one of the more interesting early-season matchups.

Danilo Gallinari believes Kawhi Leonard changed his career forever.

“He (Kawhi) changed the trajectory of my career and put me in a difficult situation by sending me away from Los Angeles. What happened to my NBA career wasn’t decided by a general manager or an owner, but by a player who decided that team wasn’t good enough and wanted something else," Gallinari said on the A Cresta Alta podcast.

Gallo may have a point.

In his last season with the Clippers, he did have the best season of his career.

🔹19.8 PPG
🔹6.1 REB
🔹2.6 AST
🔹46.3 FG%

He was still averaging similar numbers in OKC, but they were more interested in a long term rebuild than trying to compete.

Gallo left after the season to play with the Hawks on a 3-year $61 million deal and last played in 2024 as a member of the Bucks.

Injuries always hampered Gallo throughout his career.

And when the Clippers chose star power, it left Gallo to get traded out of his prime.

The L.A. Clippers are entering a completely different era.

With Kawhi Leonard returning to Toronto and the franchise going through a massive shake-up, Los Angeles now faces a huge question:

Who can step up and steer this team in the right direction?

Will Darius Garland or Brandon Ingram take the keys? Could rookie Keaton Wagler become the surprise centerpiece?

Or will Rui Hachimura make an unexpected leap?

Who do you trust to lead the Clippers into their next chapter?

The Clippers' Kawhi and PG era is officially OVER.

In 2019, there was a lot of fanfare upon the arrival of two of the best two-way players in the league at that time.
Kawhi Leonard was coming off of one of the greatest individual playoff runs in NBA history.
Paul George was not long removed from being a Top-3 MVP contender.

Hopes were high, and for good reason.
The Clippers were coming off of an unlikely playoff appearance behind Patrick Beverley and Lou Williams.
Adding 2 stars of Kawhi and PG's caliber with the same core intact,
The NBA title is not far from reach back then.

But everything that could go wrong went wrong.
People nicknamed Paul George "Wayoff P" in the bubble.
Kawhi Leonard tore his ACL.
A boatload of injuries and roster turnover made the Clippers not fulfill their potential.

What was supposed to be another great Clipper era ended in disappointment.
No rings,
1 Conference Finals appearance,
A huge scandal,
All the maneuvering the front office did for almost the past decade was all for naught.

Max Strus brings the elite floor-spacing, relentless wing defense, and battle-tested veteran presence that every single contender in the league covets.

Now stepping into a pivotal role with the LA Clippers, will his tireless hustle and proven perimeter sniping be the missing spark to push their rotation over the top?
