Sources: Rams standout DT Aaron Donald will not travel to Australia for Thursday night’s opener against the 49ers and will be inactive, per me and @rapsheet. The Rams want to give Donald more time to ramp up before making his much-anticipated return after two seasons of retirement.

@EmilyHybl Bobby Marks saying it is related to all of the companies

[Bobby Marks @BobbyMarks42]

CBA rules broken by the Clippers (per NBA):

Affirmatively initiating off-court income opportunities between Mr. Leonard and four companies doing business with the team: Aspiration Partners, Boingo Wireless, Daktronics, and Lockton Insurance;

Facilitating endorsement agreements between these companies and Mr. Leonard;

Inducing the companies to enter into these agreements by offering them business from the team;

Paying personal expenses on behalf of Mr. Leonard and his representatives; and

Failing to report improper solicitations for off-court income opportunities made on Mr. Leonard’s behalf through his then-business manager, Dennis Robertson.

BREAKING: The NBA has ruled on the Los Angeles Clippers in for salary cap circumvention investigations on Kawhi Leonard after yearlong probe -- stripping the franchise of 5 first-round picks, issuing a $30 million fine to owner Steve Ballmer and suspensions for Ballmer, Lawrence Frank and Gillian Zucker, sources tell ESPN.

Kawhi Leonard will have to pay $700,000 in restitution for improper benefits by the Clippers for his uncle and former business rep, Dennis Robertson. No contract void or suspension for Leonard. And Robertson -- who was fired by Leonard in June -- is being banned by the NBA from all business dealings.

@insidetroy Not good enough. And i don't want to hear Lincoln Riley's excuses. CFP expectations, you would expect championship standards starting today. It might get better, but this performance today, in isolation, wasn't good enough

[Robert Wilkins @rwballer]

@Corporate_Greg @Sedano @ScottKaplan @CMMSpectrum How does it work in practice though? Are they supposed to have spotters there? At what point do they start warning? Under your theory, seems like it would also be wrong for them to try to distract him from making the catch because it might be dangerous

You’re never gonna get any help from the other team near the other teams dugout. That being said.. this is ABSOLUTELY BRUTAL. As far as a fall as you can take. That’s from the field level to the bottom of the dugout & catching stairs on the way down. Ouch!

Warriors decision makers have been given no indication at this hour that they are the firm LeBron James landing spot, per sources. There's a belief that they'll have plenty of appeal, but appears to be some level of recruitment required.

If the Lakers plan on pursuing top restricted free agents like Jalen Duren and Walker Kessler, don't be surprised if they mostly stand pat during the flurry of signings at the start of free agency.

They'd need to preserve most of their cap space until the end of the moratorium.

[Robert Wilkins @rwballer]

@clintonyates It makes no sense
