2:14Now PlayingFollowing a report by journalist and MS NOW contributor Pablo Torre and subsequent investigation, the NBA is punishing the Los Angeles Clippers for violating salary cap rules for two-time Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard. The league is suspending owner Steve Ballmer for one year, fining the team $30 million and forcing the team to forfeit five first-round draft picks.
