The Clippers are under investigation by the NBA due to the Kawhi Leonard scandal uncovered by reporter Pablo Torre. Los Angeles owner Steve Ballmer addressed the matter on ESPN shortly after the initial newsbreak, but since that interview took place there have been several developments that cast further suspicious light on Leonard's no-show agreement with Aspiration and Ballmer's investments into the company.
The league's official investigation into the situation began last week. On Tuesday Ballmer appeared at a conference hosted by Sports Business Journal. He was asked about the investigation and said he welcomed it before delivering a four-word message to those watching everything unfold: "This, too, shall pass."
