NBA Investigation Into Kawhi Leonard Trade Deals Nears Conclusion

The 11-month NBA investigation into Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers regarding potential salary cap circumvention has expanded to a second endorsement deal, currently stalling a potential trade to the Toronto Raptors. Commissioner Adam Silver confirmed the probe is ongoing but expressed confidence that the inquiry will conclude before the start of the new season. Silver emphasized that the teams involved, rather than the league, are responsible for the current trade standstill.
