Continued Fall Out From the Kawhi Leonard/LA Clippers Allegations

More details have been revealed in the alleged Kawhi Leonard/LA Clippers scandal, which centers on allegations of salary cap circumvention. According to recent reports, the Clippers allegedly used a fraudulent third-party endorsement deal to pay Kawhi Leonard, with a $50 million investment by Clippers owner Steve Ballmer. On the latest installment of Pablo Torre Finds Out, documents suggest that Leonard was reportedly paid $1.75M by Aspiration, a bankrupt company, days after the team’s minority owner, Dennis J. Wong, invested $1.99M. The Clippers are currently being investigated by the NBA.

Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky’s Ongoing Drama

Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky have been embroiled in a drama-filled couple of weeks. In a Chicago Tribune interview, Reese expressed frustration with the team's performance and made specific comments about teammate Courtney Vandersloot, who’s recovering from a season-ending injury. For her remarks, which were deemed "detrimental to the team," she was suspended for the first half of the game against the Las Vegas Aces. This followed a league-mandated one-game suspension for Reese after she accumulated too many technical fouls. With all that's going on with Reese and the team, an anonymous WNBA executive suggested that the two-time All-Star ask for a trade. “She needs to get the hell out of there,” the WNBA executive said of Reese. “Chicago is probably the worst-run organization in the league. You’re gonna suspend your best player just because she’s putting pressure on you to get better? That was embarrassing to see."
