Pablo Torre dropped an NBA bombshell on Wednesday morning, reporting that the Clippers and Kawhi Leonard may have circumvented the league's salary cap.
According to evidence obtained by Torre—which he laid out on his podcast, Pablo Torre Finds Out—the L.A. star signed an endorsement deal with a now-bankrupt tree-planting company called Aspiration Inc. back in 2022. Said company was partially funded by Clippers owner Steve Ballmer and, per further documentation, agreed to pay Leonard $7 million over four years for a total of $28 million.
