Los Angeles Clippers owner Steve Ballmer is urging the NBA to investigate allegations of salary cap circumvention involving Kawhi Leonard and a marketing deal with Aspiration, an environmental start-up. Ballmer claims he and the Clippers were unaware of a $28 million deal between Leonard and Aspiration, and that he was defrauded by the company, whose co-founder pleaded guilty to wire fraud. Ballmer insists he had no involvement in the deal and wants a full league investigation into the matter.
