Though we rarely see this unless the player is really injured

what happens if both Demar and Kawhi avoid passing physicals (just don't show up)

Trade is rescinded ?  or suspension without pay?

Kawhi should stay with the Raptors long-term, so he doesn't have to go to the Lakers next year.

Although that'd give Boston some troubles...another top eastern conference rival to deal with for multiple years.

The teams can waive the physical or unwind the trade. The players involved can be fined.

Given the press conference and public nature of this I am betting it would go through anyways.

Sporting News reporting he may sit than play for Toronto (i dont believe he will)...but if he does, Silver should suspend him for 2 years
Doesn't the Commissioner have broad discretion in such matters? If so he could also block Kawhi from going to LA. It would be a good statement to make. I'm sure the owners aren't happy at this saga and don't want Kawhi setting a new precedent.

He does not.

While there is a vague blanket power granted in the NBA constitution, the commissioner has limited power to limit FA movement. Only if tampering were proven via the official process could he stop Kawhi from going to LA.

Couldn't Kawhi Leonard sue the NBA for that?
