Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers just got hit with massive penalties after the NBA concluded its investigation into salary-cap circumvention. Leonard was ordered to pay the league $700,000, while the Clippers were fined $30 million and stripped of five first-round picks from 2029 through 2033. The NBA found that the organization helped create off-court income opportunities for Kawhi through companies doing business with the team, while owner Steve Ballmer was suspended for one year. It’s one of the harshest punishments the league has handed out in years — and could impact the Clippers long after Kawhi is gone. #nba #hoops #basketball #kalshipartner @kalshi
