A limited partner with the LA Clippers reportedly sent nearly $2 million to a now-bankrupt company that allegedly gave Kawhi Leonard an endorsement deal for a "no-show job" less than 10 days before the star forward was paid $1.75 million by the company, the podcast "Pablo Torre Finds Out" reported Thursday.
The company, Aspiration, reportedly agreed to a $28 million endorsement deal with Leonard in 2021. Clippers owner Steve Ballmer invested $50 million through his personal LLC in September 2021, and the Clippers announced a $300 million partnership with Aspiration two weeks later.
