Clippers Under Federal Probe | Toronto Raptors News

Federal prosecutors are now probing the Los Angeles Clippers over alleged fake sponsorship deals with Kawhi Leonard, suspected of helping the team skirt NBA salary cap rules. The probe, led by Brooklyn’s U.S. Attorney’s office — known for its pro sports scrutiny — began before the NBA’s own investigation and has already issued subpoenas. While the Clippers already faced steep penalties including draft pick forfeitures, a $30 million fine, and suspensions, the federal inquiry could escalate to criminal charges or a grand jury. Allegations center on whether owner Steve Ballmer and executives orchestrated “no-show” contracts to circumvent league rules — a complex case still unfolding since September 2025.
