Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers are in hot water. It was recently revealed that the Clippers had possibly circumvented the salary cap to sign Kawhi Leonard back in 2019. A recent report from Pablo Torre Finds Out uncovered that the two-time Finals MVP had secretly signed a $28 million contract for a no-show job with the so-called “green bank,” Aspiration. Clippers owner Steve Ballmer holds a $50 million investment in the bank. It should also be noted that Leonard reportedly received $1.75 million from the company just nine days after Clippers vice chairman Dennis Wong made an investment into the bank.
NBA commissioner Adam Silver said he had “never heard of the company,” and was “never aware of any endorsement deal with Kawhi or any engagement with the Los Angeles Clippers, so it was all new to me,” he stated.
