Something smells fishy in this whole case. After the journalist uncovered a network of shell companies through which Los Angeles Clippers may have been paying Kawhi Leonard more money than stipulated, now there are reports of a second investment by Steve Balmer in that company.

The company Aspiration is already under investigation by the NBA to shed light on the matter, and it's not helping Los Angeles Clippers' interests that a second investment by Steve Balmer has been discovered. It was known that he had put in 50 million dollars in 2021, but now another investment has emerged, this time of 10 million dollars, in the same company, in March 2023, as reported by NY Post.

Three months before that, Dennis Wong, the vice president of the LA franchise, had invested nearly 2 million dollars, stated the investigative journalist who uncovered the case, that after this, an irregular payment to Kawhi Leonard occurred. So far, the stance of the Los Angeles Clippers' owner has been to claim he was defrauded by this company, but if new information keeps coming to light, Steve Balmer might find himself in serious trouble.
