The NBA just dropped a nuclear verdict on the LA Clippers—owner Steve Ballmer suspended for a year, five future first-round picks gone, and a $30 million fine. It all boils down to how they handled Kawhi Leonard’s off-court income, which the league says blatantly violated salary cap rules. Commissioner Adam Silver called it institutional failure, not just a mistake. Zucker and Frank also face suspensions, while Kawhi himself gets a $700K fine for pressuring the team and not reimbursing expenses. The Clippers are now under league oversight for five years, with their future draft capital erased—and the NBA made it crystal clear: this isn’t just about fines—it’s about protecting the integrity of the system.
