The NBA has determined that the Clippers circumvented the salary cap in connection with Kawhi Leonard, according to sources cited by

The franchise will lose five first round picks and owner Steve Ballmer has been fined $30 million. Ballmer, Lawrence Frank and Gillian Zucker have also been suspended.
Leonard has been ordered to pay $700,000 in restitution for improper benefits, but he will not be suspended and his contract will remain intact.
