Overview

• On Sept. 6, Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton quipped “Tell them to find me too!” on FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff when asked about a “no-show” job like Leonard’s.
• The NBA has hired a law firm to investigate Leonard’s Aspiration endorsement, which reports describe as requiring little or no promotional work.
• Coverage pegs the Aspiration deal at $28 million and reports that terms were tied to Leonard remaining a member of the Los Angeles Clippers.
• Clippers owner Steve Ballmer is reported to have invested about $50 million in Aspiration and has publicly denied knowledge of or wrongdoing in the deal.
• Reports say potential penalties for cap circumvention could include heavy fines, forfeited draft picks, or voiding Leonard’s contract, and Leonard has not commented publicly after being seen at the US Open.
