On Dec. 16, the NBA opened an investigation on the Los Angeles Clippers three days after Kawhi Leonard's recruitment allegations surfaced when Johnny Wilkes filed suit against executive board member Jerry West.
TMZ reports that Wilkes is part of Leonard’s inner circle and helped the Clippers land the former Finals MVP in exchange for $2.5 million. Wilkes claims that West never held his end of the bargain and never received the financial compensation he was promised.
After a verbal agreement, Wilkes began working on pitching the Clippers to Leonard and his notorious uncle, Dennis Robertson.
