NBA pushes back on ESPN’s Kawhi-Clippers probe report, promises final results

The NBA disputed ESPN’s report on its 11-month probe into potential salary-cap circumvention by the Clippers related to Kawhi Leonard endorsements, saying the article contains inaccuracies and that the final results will be clarified once the investigation concludes; Clippers maintain they merely introduced Leonard to business partners and did not negotiate terms, with sponsorships involving Aspiration and others tied to the inquiry as the league weighs potential penalties.
