Cuban cheers Torre as NBA hits Clippers with record penalties in Kawhi case
TL;DR Summary
Mark Cuban congratulated Pablo Torre after the NBA issued a historic punishment to the Los Angeles Clippers, owner Steve Ballmer, and Kawhi Leonard for salary-cap circumvention. Ballmer was suspended for one year, the Clippers were fined $30 million, first-round picks from 2029–2033 were wiped, and Leonard was ordered to repay $700,000. The penalties followed a year‑long investigation sparked by Torre’s reporting on Leonard’s off‑court income deals, with Cuban previously backing Ballmer before the sanctions were announced.
