NBA disputes ESPN report on Clippers salary cap investigation involving Kawhi Leonard

The NBA has publicly disputed an ESPN report stating that, after an 11-month investigation, the league could not prove that Clippers owner Steve Ballmer funnelled money to Kawhi Leonard via team sponsorships to circumvent the salary cap. ESPN also reported that both sides are negotiating a resolution. Ballmer has denied the allegations, and any trade involving Leonard remains on hold.
