The Straits Times
|September 05, 2025
The Los Angeles Clippers are being accused of trying to get around National Basketball Association (NBA) salary cap rules by feeding US$28 million (S$36.1 million) to Kawhi Leonard in the form of a "no-show" endorsement deal with a now-bankrupt company partially funded by Clippers owner Steve Ballmer, according to an extensive report by podcaster and former ESPN contributor Pablo Torre.

LOS ANGELES -
Ballmer reportedly gave US$50 million in funding to the sustainability business Aspiration, which has faced accusations of fraud and whose co-founder, Joseph Sanberg, agreed to plead guilty in August to defrauding multiple investors.
The NBA said on Sept 3 in a statement to ESPN: "We are aware of this morning's media report regarding the LA Clippers and are commencing an investigation."
According to a document obtained by Torre and reportedly signed by Leonard, the six-time NBA All-Star was to receive US$28 million in cash from Aspiration over the course of four years from 2022 to 2025, as long as he was playing for the Clippers.
