NBA Commissioner Adam Silver mentioned on Wednesday that the league isn’t going to rush into making any decisions about the claims that the Los Angeles Clippers broke salary cap rules with a fake endorsement deal for Kawhi Leonard.
“I’m holding off on making any judgments because I don’t have all the details,” Silver said during a press conference after the league’s board of governors meeting in New York. “I don’t know what Kawhi was paid or what he did or didn’t do. We’ll let the investigation sort that out.”
A podcast by journalist Pablo Torre reported this month that the Clippers might have played fast and loose with salary cap rules through a now-defunct company called Aspiration, which Clippers owner Steve Ballmer had invested in.
I’m reserving judgment because I don’t know the facts here,” Silver said at a press conference after the league’s board of governors’ meeting in New York.
I don’t know what Kawhi was paid. I don’t know what he did or didn’t do. We’ll leave all that to the investigation.
A podcast report by journalist Pablo Torre alleged this month that the Clippers skirted salary cap rules through a now-bankrupt company called Aspiration, in which Clippers owner Steve Ballmer was an investor.
