NBA suspends Clippers owner Steve Ballmer for one year

The NBA suspended Clippers owner Steve Ballmer for one year on Wednesday. The league concluded that the team bypassed salary cap regulations to provide Kawhi Leonard with millions of dollars in additional payments. This decision followed a year-long investigation led by the New York law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz. The league released a 36-page summary detailing the investigators' findings regarding the financial misconduct. The report indicates that Ballmer personally participated in the effort to circumvent league compensation limits. The Clippers now face official league sanctions following these findings.
