The Los Angeles Clippers are under fire for allegedly paying Kawhi Leonard $28 million for a "no-show job" in an attempt to circumvent the NBA's salary cap. According to reports, the team could face severe punishment if these allegations are proven to be true.
The controversy surrounding Leonard's hefty payout has raised questions about the team's ethics and adherence to league regulations. Clippers owner Steve Ballmer has vehemently denied the accusations, insisting that the payment was part of an endorsement deal rather than an attempt to evade salary cap rules.
If the NBA finds evidence of wrongdoing, the Clippers could face fines, loss of draft picks, or even the nullification of Leonard's contract. The league takes salary cap violations seriously in order to maintain fair competition among teams.
Despite the denials from Ballmer and Leonard's representatives, the NBA is expected to launch a thorough investigation into the matter. Stay tuned as more information is revealed about this scandal that has rocked the NBA world.

The government has announced a review of the controversial two-child benefit cap following widespread criticism and calls for change. Currently, families in the UK can only claim benefits for their first two children, leaving many struggling to make ends meet.
The policy, introduced in 2017 as part of welfare reforms, has been widely criticized for disproportionately affecting low-income families. Campaigners argue that the cap penalizes families for having more than two children and pushes them further into poverty.
The review comes after a recent report found that the two-child limit has led to an increase in child poverty and food bank usage. Many families have been forced to rely on charity assistance to feed their children and meet basic needs.
The government has faced mounting pressure to scrap the policy altogether, with MPs and advocacy groups calling for a more compassionate approach to welfare. While a final decision has not been made, the review signals a potential shift in government policy towards supporting low-income families and tackling child poverty.
