The NBA has determined that the Los Angeles Clippers and player Kawhi Leonard collaborated to circumvent the player union’s collective bargaining agreement by initiating “off-court income opportunities” for Leonard. Today on AirTalk, we dig into the details of what the league found.
Context: The NBA launched an investigation with the help of an independent law firm last year into the Clippers not long after independent journalist Pablo Torre reported on his podcast that Leonard had allegedly signed a $28 million endorsement deal that had no duties tied to it. The Clippers have maintained they have done nothing wrong, and rejected the findings.
The penalties: Team owner Steve Ballmer has been suspended for one year, the team will forfeit five first-round draft picks across the next few years, and a team will pay a $30 million fine. For his part, Leonard has been fined $700,000.
