The NBA is launching an investigation into allegations that Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers committed a salary cap circumvention violation.
“We are aware of this morning’s media report regarding the LA Clippers and are commencing an investigation,” said NBA spokesman Mike Bass.
Leonard allegedly received an endorsement deal worth $28 million over four years from a company with ties to Steve Ballmer.
The NBA previously conduced an investigation into Leonard and the Clippers in 2019 after he signed with the franchise in free agency.
