LA Clippers star Kawhi Leonard and his uncle and business advisor Dennis Robertson have been interviewed by the NBA amid the league's probe into allegations of salary cap circumvention, per ESPN.
Before Game 1 of the NBA Finals, NBA commissioner Adam Silver said the league is "close to the point now where I think we need to wrap this up."

"I thought it was over. I ain't gonna lie to you. Getting waived with no warning, no nothing, explanation or anything, it was tough. Big, big shout out to the San Antonio Spurs taking an opportunity to a kid from Brooklyn"
An Oklahoma youth baseball coach has received a lifetime suspension for allegedly instructing his 12-year-old son, the team's pitcher, to throw at the opposing dugout, per @USATODAY
"We've got people coming [to the World Cup] from all nationalities, perspectives, religions coming into this city. Are we going to get mad? 'Why are all these people coming here?' Or are we going to embrace the diversity that sports brings us?"

Abdul Carter says he will only address Jaxson Dart introducing Donald Trump one time:
"Some things are bigger than football, and this is one of those things.
Jaxson is one of our leaders - he's the face of our franchise. He represents himself and what he does, and he represents all of us.
If he chooses to align himself with a man like President Trump, it's my responsibility based on what I believe and what I stand on to not only show my teammates that I'm against that, but to show the world.
That doesn't mean that we have to spread hate. That doesn't mean that me and Jaxson hate each other or we have beef. I sit next to Jaxson every day - we're close, we talk.
As long as we make sure we have the same goal as a team, and our goals align - which they do -that's all that matter.
I just want to move past this."
GOOD! CRY! THIS MATTERS! CRYING IN SPORTS IS A GOOD THING! THAT MEANS YOU CARE! KEEP HOOPIN YOUNG G! YOU WILL BE GREAT ONE DAY!
IF YOU CARE, THEN YOU CRY! AND LEARN!
I LOVE THAT! KEEP GOING! @carterdbryant
So Jaxson Dart gets to publicly express his political beliefs, but Abdul Carter doesn’t? If this is about locker room sanctity and leadership, is it a good idea for the face of the franchise to attend a political rally for a president that is considered to be hugely divisive?
Also people need to stop pretending that Trump support is the same as any other President in history. You know why people are more trigger by Trump than say George W. Don’t insult people’s intelligence.
Abdul Carter better not delete the tweet either, nor apologize. #They really want Black athletes to stfu while allowing the white ones to do and endorse as they please because it appeases to #them.
Supporting Donald Trump isn’t just a “difference in political beliefs”
This dude has put the Obama’s faces on monkeys, has voiced harmful rhetoric towards Latinos, and lit the fire for the Jan 6th riots to occur.
It IS that deep. But some of yall will never get it.
