Clippers face rare sanctions in NBA
The NBA (National Basketball Association) has imposed severe penalties on the Los Angeles Clippers, including a $30 million fine and the suspension of their first-round draft picks from 2029 to 2033. These sanctions follow an investigation that uncovered violations of the salary cap rules connected to star player Kawhi Leonard, which involved the team helping Leonard bypass regulations through arrangements with sponsors affiliated with the club. Additionally, the team's owner, Steve Ballmer, has been suspended for one year, Chief Business Operations Officer Gillion Zooker has received a one-year unpaid suspension, and Head of Basketball Operations Lawrence Frank has been suspended for six months. Leonard was also fined $700,000.
