NBA Drops the Hammer on Clippers in Kawhi Leonard Investigation

The Los Angeles Clippers are facing one of the biggest punishments in NBA history after the league concluded its investigation into the franchise's dealings involving Kawhi Leonard.

On Wednesday, the NBA announced that the Clippers violated the league's salary-cap circumvention rules. The investigation, which was conducted by the law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, found what the league described as a pattern of misconduct surrounding Leonard and his off-court income opportunities.
