Kawhi Leonard went down in Game 1 of the 2017 Western Conference Finals on what many have called a dirty foul from Zaza Pachulia. He missed the remainder of the series and then most of the 2017-18 season, ultimately falling out with the Spurs over the handling of his injury.
Leonard brought things full circle, winning Finals MVP en route to leading the Raptors to a victory over Golden State marred by injuries for the Warriors. Kevin Durant played only 12 minutes due to injury, suffering a ruptured Achilles in Game 5. Klay Thompson missed the entire fourth quarter after suffering a knee injury in Game 6.
As for whether it was karma, that's up to Kuzma's interpretation.
