Report: Clippers Accused of Circumventing Salary Cap with Kawhi Leonard Payment

[ESPN / Baxter Holmes] The LA Clippers are under scrutiny after reports surfaced that they allegedly paid Kawhi Leonard $28M through a company owned by Steve Ballmer, without requiring him to perform any marketing or endorsements. The allegation: the payment acted as a “no-show job” to circumvent the NBA salary cap. This comes after past reports that Leonard’s camp asked for “extra perks” in free agency meetings back in 2019. If true, this may not just be a Clippers issue — but also raise questions about Kawhi’s side. The league has not yet announced any penalties. But if proven, could this be one of the biggest cap circumvention cases in NBA history? #KawhiLeonard #Clippers #NBA #NBANews #NBADebate #BasketballTalk #Sports
