美国职业篮球联赛对洛杉矶快船队做出历史性处罚，原因是该队在招募球星卡瓦伊·莱昂纳德过程中违反了薪资帽规则。2NBA对快船队罚款3000万美元，并剥夺其2029年至2033年间的五个首轮选秀权。2此外，快船队所有者史蒂夫·鲍尔默遭禁赛一年，篮球运营主席劳伦斯·弗兰克禁赛六个月，商务运营主席吉莲·祖克禁赛一年。2球员莱昂纳德也因此被罚款70万美元。12
调查发现，快船队通过为莱昂纳德在关联公司创造虚假岗位来规避薪资帽限制，其中最主要的违规涉及与Aspiration的协议。2根据法律文件，Aspiration与莱昂纳德旗下的KL2 Aspire LLC达成2800万美元协议，合同条款包括莱昂纳德即使不工作也可获得报酬，且莱昂纳德离开快船则协议作废。2涉及的其他关联公司还包括Boingo Wireless、Daktronics和Lockton Insurance。2NBA专员亚当·西尔瓦对此表示："我对这些明目张胆的违规行为和快船的制度与领导力失败深感失望。"2
The NBA has issued sweeping sanctions against the Los Angeles Clippers for salary cap circumvention in connection with the recruitment of player Kawhi Leonard.12 The team was fined $30 million and stripped of five first-round draft picks from 2029 through 2033.2 Owner Steve Ballmer has been suspended, while Leonard was individually fined $700,000.12
The investigation uncovered an elaborate scheme involving affiliated companies designed to circumvent league salary cap restrictions.2 The Clippers created fictitious positions for Leonard through multiple affiliated entities, including a $28 million agreement between Aspiration Partners and Leonard's company, KL2 Aspire LLC.2 The contract terms stipulated that Leonard would receive compensation regardless of work performed, with the agreement becoming void if he left the Clippers.2 Other affiliated companies involved in the arrangement included Boingo Wireless, Daktronics, and Lockton Insurance.2
Leadership at the organization faced individual suspensions as well.2 In addition to Ballmer's suspension, basketball operations president Lawrence Frank was suspended for six months and business operations president Gillian Zucker for one year.2 NBA Commissioner Adam Silver expressed his disapproval, stating: "I am deeply disappointed by the flagrant violations and the institutional and leadership failures at the Clippers."2
