LOS ANGELES (AP) --- The Los Angeles Clippers were fined $30 million and star
player Kawhi Leonard was hit with a $700,000 penalty by the NBA on Wednesday
for violating salary cap circumvention rules.
The league came down hard on the organization after a nearly year-long
investigation.
Owner Steve Ballmer has been suspended for one year, president of basketball
operations Lawrence Frank has been suspended without pay for six months and
president of business operations Gillian Zucker was suspended for one year, all
for their involvement.
