Clippers got screwed.
Uncle Dennis got screwed.
Kawhi is free to join the Raptors.
Couldnโt have had a better runout for my personal interests. โบ๏ธ
Statement from the Clippers: We vehemently reject the NBA's findings, which are the result of a heavily biased investigation seeking to justify a predetermined narrative rather than facts and evidence. What the league told us privately differs from what it announced today publicly, and they have not held themselves close to the standard Commissioner Silver set at the start of this investigation to ensure itโs fairness and accuracy.
For the past year, we cooperated fully and in good faith and we will now fight just as hard to demonstrate our innocence.
Weย intend to vigorously challenge these findings and penalties through every avenue available to us and look forward to an ethical and impartial arbitration process.
After careful consideration and reviewing the current eligibility guidelines,
Iโm officially declaring myself a @WNBA prospect.
If simply declaring who you are is all thatโs required, then I meet every single requirement necessary to compete in the WNBA.
My team and I have carefully examined the WNBAโs eligibility criteria and governing framework surrounding self-identification and inclusion. Based on the current guidelines, I can and am officially declaring my eligibility for the upcoming WNBA draft in April 2027.
I know my presence on the court will stir up strong opinions.
I am definitely not here to mock, make fun of, or disrespect any community or personal choices.
Iโm simply asking that the current rules be applied equally to everyone โ the rules that represent the very values many WNBA players and coaches have publicly advocated for.
My team and I are prepared to ensure these guidelines are applied equally, consistently, and without exception, and I look forward to the #WNBA honoring its stated principles.
See you at training camp.
