The NBA has refuted assertions made in an ESPN report regarding the league’s inquiry into Los Angeles Clippers proprietor Steve Ballmer. According to ESPN’s Monday article, three sources claimed that the NBA discovered no proof indicating that Ballmer used team sponsors to provide Kawhi Leonard with funds to evade the salary cap. Instead, the article suggested that the NBA is examining whether the team’s presentation of Leonard to sponsors breaches the league’s regulations against circumventing the salary cap. NBA spokesperson Mike Bass released a statement on Monday afternoon stating that the ESPN article “contains multiple and significant inaccuracies.” Bass’s statement indicated that the outcomes of the NBA’s investigation will be disclosed upon its conclusion. A transaction between L.A. and the Toronto Raptors concerning Leonard has been paused pending the league’s determination on potential penalties.
