Clippers Hit Hard by NBA Penalties | Canada News
Description
The NBA just dropped a blockbuster penalty on the LA Clippers and Kawhi Leonard — five first-round picks stripped, owner Steve Ballmer fined $30 million, and top execs facing suspensions for exploiting a bankrupt company to skirt salary cap rules. Commissioner Adam Silver called it “institutional failure,” sending a clear message: bending the rules costs big. While Kawhi avoids suspension, he’s paying $700K and his trade to Toronto can finally move forward — a deal frozen since July. Even Kawhi’s uncle, Dennis Robertson, is banned from league business. This case proves the NBA won’t tolerate financial shortcuts — no matter who’s involved.
