The NBA has concluded a year-long investigation into the Los Angeles Clippers, imposing severe penalties for salary-cap circumvention linked to Kawhi Leonard’s endorsement deals. The sanctions include a $30 million fine, the loss of five first-round draft picks from 2029 to 2033, and suspensions for owner Steve Ballmer and other executives. Leonard was fined $700,000, but his contract remains intact. The Clippers plan to challenge the ruling, asserting their innocence in the matter.
