Following those revelations, both Ballmer and the Clippers denied the allegations, saying Ballmer was defrauded by Aspiration and that the team and Ballmer had “no oversight” into Leonard’s independent endorsement agreement with Aspiration.
Ballmer reiterated those comments Tuesday, and implied the NBA would not find anything suspicious with its investigation. The league originally investigated Leonard’s free agency in 2019, after it was rumored his uncle, Dennis Robertson, asked teams for impermissible benefits as those teams courted Leonard. The league found no evidence the Clippers granted illegal benefits to Leonard at the time of that original investigation.
