Kawhi Leonard says he has not purchased any property in Toronto yet, dispelling reports that originally surfaced last week.

Q: There was speculation earlier this week that you had purchased property in the city, I’m just curious if you wanted to clarify if in fact that actually occurred.

Kawhi: No it didn't. Didn’t happen yet, no.#WeTheNorth l #NBAFinals pic.twitter.com/dzE49T1uTm

The Toronto Raptors forward was asked if he had bought property in Toronto at a media availability on Sunday before Game 5 of the NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors on Monday.

Reports last week claimed that Leonard had purchased a home in Toronto, based on information from two sources.

Some Raptors fans interpreted the potential purchase as proof that the 27-year-old planned to re-sign with Toronto during free agency this upcoming off season.

Leonard has averaged 31.1 points per game this season, with a 49.8 field goal percentage overall and 39.1 per cent from three-point territory.
