One of the most severe punishments has been levied against the Clippers and Kawhi Leonard for improper business dealings to circumvent the salary cap.
  • Clippers lose FIVE first-round draft picks — reportedly spanning 2029 through 2033.
  • Kawhi Leonard fined $700,000.
  • Steve Ballmer suspended for one year.
  • Clippers business operations president Gillian Zucker suspended for one year.
  • Basketball operations president Lawrence Frank suspended for six months.
  • Kawhi's former business representative Dennis Robertson banned from NBA business dealings.
  • The NBA investigation found violations involving salary-cap circumvention and improper off-court financial benefits/sponsorship arrangements connected to Leonard.
  • Reports indicate the league did not find evidence that Ballmer personally funneled money directly to Leonard, but still found serious organizational failures and violations.
  • The punishment is one of the most severe team sanctions in recent NBA history, especially because of the loss of five first-round picks.
