Kawhi Leonard's Aspiration endorsement is under NBA scrutiny for potential cap circumvention by the Clippers via KL2 Aspire. The four-year, $7 million-per-year deal intersects with Leonard's extension and Aspiration's bankruptcy filing. The NBA will probe links among Leonard, Aspiration, KL2 Aspire and Ballmer's stake in the company. The Clippers deny wrongdoing and will cooperate. Penalties, if proven, could include fines, contract voiding or draft-pick losses, leaving fantasy managers weighing Clippers' cap health and rotation for the season.

For fantasy players, the case adds uncertainty around cap space, usage, and roster construction. Monitoring any league rulings, team moves, or sponsor-linked adjustments will be crucial to recalibrating projections for Leonard and teammates as the season nears.
