Potential Penalties for Clippers, Kawhi Leonard in Salary Cap Circumvention Case

John Hollinger noted Article XIII of the CBA could bring harsh consequences if Leonard’s Aspiration deal is ruled a circumvention. Leonard risks having his contract voided, being barred from re-signing, fined up to $350K, and forced to return payments. The Clippers could face $7.5M in fines, loss of draft picks, and suspensions, or $1M fines for executives.
