Federal Prosecutors Reportedly Probe Clippers Over Kawhi Leonard Salary-Cap Claims
Federal prosecutors have reportedly opened a criminal investigation into the Los Angeles Clippers over claims that the team circumvented NBA salary-cap rules involving Kawhi Leonard. The report follows NBA disciplinary action against the franchise. The league reportedly fined the Clippers $30 million, suspended owner Steve Ballmer and stripped the team of five first-round draft picks. The Clippers deny any wrongdoing and say they will challenge the NBA’s findings and penalties. The reported federal investigation does not mean criminal wrongdoing has been established, and no charges have been announced.
