The National Basketball Association’s investigation into the Los Angeles Clippers and whether they violated salary cap rules in pursuit of Kawhi Leonard could last until 2027 if a settlement isn't reached, sources report.
The NBA is currently probing allegations that the Clippers circumvented the league’s salary cap regulations when signing Kawhi Leonard. According to sources who spoke with ESPN, the investigation’s timeline could stretch into 2027 if the involved parties – the NBA and the Clippers organization – are unable to come to an agreement regarding the findings of the probe or any potential disciplinary actions against the team.
The length of the investigation is tied directly to a lack of consensus. Sources told ESPN that if there's disagreement on the facts uncovered during the inquiry, or on the terms of any proposed settlement involving penalties for the Clippers, the process will be significantly prolonged. The specific details of the alleged salary cap circumvention have not been publicly released by the NBA.
