The ongoing saga involving Kawhi Leonard continues to hover over the league, as more and more details come out on the situation. For those unaware, the Kawhi Leonard probe centers on whether the LA Clippers secretly bypassed the NBA’s salary cap to pay him extra money.
Typically, the path to the NBA for most players is to spend at least a season in college to get high-level basketball and important development under their belts.
The possibility that the NBA’s investigation involving Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers could extend into 2027 hasn’t derailed plans to complete Leonard’s trade to the Raptors.
