The Los Angeles Clippers and Kawhi Leonard are accused of circumventing the NBA's salary cap by paying Leonard $28 million for an alleged "no-show job" with a company owned by Clippers owner Steve Ballmer. The deal, which is being investigated by the NBA, has been criticized by sports analysts like Stephen A. Smith, who referred to Leonard as a "walking absentee on the ballot." If the allegations are true, Leonard and the Clippers could face potential punishment from the league. The company involved in the deal has also been endorsed by celebrities such as Robert Downey Jr. and Leonardo DiCaprio.
