New Balance unveils 'Thank You Toronto' billboard featuring Kawhi Leonard
Ahead of Kawhi Leonard’s return to Toronto on Wednesday, New Balance unveiled a billboard to honour the occasion.
How cool is this? New Balance just released a new Kawhi billboard at Yonge and Dundas.

The display featured at the intersection of Yonge and Dundas — a central hub in downtown Toronto — prominently states Leonard’s appreciation for his time in the city.
The 2019 NBA champion will receive his ring in a ceremony prior to the game on Wednesday night.
When the Raptors visited Los Angeles and faced their former teammate for the first time as a member of the Clippers, they held him to 12 points and his lowest field goal percentage in a game so far this season, but the home team came away with the 98-88 victory.
Even if Leonard is thankful for his time — and championship — in Toronto, he will surely be trying to improve on his lowly performance earlier this season and bring the Clippers to 2-0 against the Raptors for the season.
