Forward for the Los Angeles Clippers, **Kawhi Leonard**, was set to earn a total of $48 million, which included a $28 million advertising contract with Aspiration and an additional $20 million in company stocks. This information was reported by the Boston Sports Journal.
It is noted that Leonard was supposed to receive the stock payments over a four-year period; however, since the shares were never liquidated, those payments never commenced. Furthermore, it has been highlighted that Leonard did not receive the complete amount of the promised $28 million.
The details regarding the questionable contract with Aspiration were previously revealed by journalist Pablo Torre. It is reported that this arrangement was facilitated by Clippers owner Steve Ballmer as a means to circumvent the salary cap.
