NBA fans were met with a massive news bombshell on Wednesday morning when The Athletic’s Pablo Torre alleged that Kawhi Leonard and the LA Clippers used outside endorsement deals to circumvent the league’s salary cap rules.

On Wednesday’s episode of “Pablo Torre Finds Out,” Torre shared that he believes Leonard signed a $28 million deal to endorse Aspiration, a now bankrupt tree-planting company partially funded by Clippers owner Steve Ballmer, as a way to earn more than the maximum contract with LA.
