In the aftermath of Pablo Torre's bombshell report which alleged the Los Angeles Clippers paid Kawhi Leonard a $28 million endorsement deal in order to circumvent the NBA salary cap when he signed with the franchise in 2019, the Clippers issued a statement in which they vehemently denied any truth to Torre's reporting.
According to Torre's sources, Leonard allegedly received a lucrative contract from a now-bankrupt environmental company that had previously been tied financially to Clippers owner Steve Ballmer.
