The NBA has found no evidence that LA Clippers owner Steve Ballmer funneled money through team sponsors to pay Kawhi Leonard to circumvent the salary cap, according to three people with knowledge of recent discussions between the two sides, per ESPN’s Don Van Natta Jr., Baxter Holmes, and Ramona Shelburne.

The NBA is focused on whether the team's introduction of Leonard to team sponsors constitutes a violation of the league's rules prohibiting salary cap circumvention.

The league is examining whether the Clippers are guilty of "failure to supervise" employees. However, it's unclear what specific rule the team would have violated or what the penalties would be.
