Clippers Hit Hard by NBA Penalties | Los Angeles Clippers News

The NBA just dropped a blockbuster penalty on the LA Clippers for salary cap violations tied to Kawhi Leonard’s contract, costing them five first-round draft picks from 2029 to 2033, a $30 million fine, and a one-year suspension for owner Steve Ballmer — all while Kawhi pays $700K. Critics like Draymond Green call losing those picks a franchise-altering blow, but the Clippers are fighting back, calling the findings “heavily biased” and vowing to challenge the decision. Meanwhile, the Kawhi trade to Toronto is now moving forward — proving the league’s zero-tolerance stance on rule-breaking, with long-term consequences looming for the Clippers.
