The NBA fined the Los Angeles Clippers $30 million and stripped the franchise of five first-round draft picks after an independent investigation found the team circumvented salary-cap rules by facilitating off-court income opportunities for Kawhi Leonard. Bloomberg News Senior Sports Reporter Randall Williams joins Christina Ruffini and Jeff Mason on Bloomberg This Weekend and explains that owner Steve Ballmer was also suspended for a year, while Leonard was fined $700,000 in one of the league’s most severe disciplinary actions. -------- Watch Bloomberg Radio LIVE on YouTube Weekdays 7am-6pm ET Saturday & Sunday 7am-10am ET WATCH HERE: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF Follow us on X: https://twitter.com/BloombergRadio Subscribe to our Podcasts: Bloomberg Daybreak: http://bit.ly/3DWYoAN Bloomberg Surveillance: http://bit.ly/3OPtReI Bloomberg Intelligence: http://bit.ly/3YrBfOi Balance of Power: http://bit.ly/3OO8eLC Bloomberg Businessweek: http://bit.ly/3IPl60i Listen on
