BREAKING: The NBA has ruled on the Los Angeles Clippers in for salary cap circumvention investigations on Kawhi Leonard after yearlong probe -- stripping the franchise of 5 first-round picks, issuing a $30 million fine to owner Steve Ballmer and suspensions for Ballmer, Lawrence Frank and Gillian Zucker, sources tell ESPN.
Kawhi Leonard will have to pay $700,000 in restitution for improper benefits by the Clippers for his uncle and former business rep, Dennis Robertson. No contract void or suspension for Leonard. And Robertson -- who was fired by Leonard in June -- is being banned by the NBA from all business dealings.

Yaxel Lendeborg was cut from his middle school team 3 times and cut from his freshman team mid-season for poor grades. He wasn't mad about it. It meant he continue playing video games for 12+ hours per day.
He wanted nothing to do with sports after graduating. He picked up a warehouse job, but his mother convinced him to join a JUCO team...and something clicked.
For the first time in his life Yaxel believed in himself. He started working hard to results compounded every year.
- Arizona Western College all-time leading rebounder
- AAC Defensive Player of the Year at UAB
- #1 graded transfer
- 1st team All-American
- National Champion at Michigan
When asked about his journey Yaxel said
“I feel like I’m doing it for the people, who don’t believe in themselves”
"I want to be a role model for those people”
“Don’t doubt yourself. Give it a second effort before you give up”
