Kawhi Leonard Fined $700K in Clippers Salary Cap Scandal

Kawhi Leonard has been fined $700,000 following an NBA investigation into a salary cap circumvention scheme involving a 'no-show' endorsement deal with Daktronics. While Leonard avoided suspension and maintains he had no knowledge of the scheme, the Clippers face historic penalties, including a $30 million fine and five lost first-round picks. A 35-page report from Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz rebuked the team's denials, though Leonard is reportedly ready to move forward.
