Kawhi Leonard, through his new agent, Harrison Gaines, issues statement:
βIntegrity and respect for this game are fundamental to who I am. I accept full responsibility for lapses in judgment by people within my inner circle and regret the distraction this situation has caused the fans and my family. Β
I entered into my contract with the Clippers as well as the agreements in question in good faith, fully committed to fulfilling my obligations and with no knowledge of any intent on anyone's part to circumvent the salary cap. Β
For 15 years, my priority has been giving everything to my family, the game, and those I share the court with. As I return to Toronto, I am focused on what I can control, closing this chapter, and moving forward with a clean slate."
Per NBA: The Clippers shall forfeit five first-round draft picks, one in each of the 2029, 2030, 2031, 2032, and 2033 NBA Drafts.
Clippers owner Steve Ballmer is suspended from all league and team activities for one year for knowingly seeking to help Mr. Leonard obtain off-court income opportunities, for approving a business deal that he knew was a precondition for Aspiration to enter into an endorsement agreement with Mr. Leonard, and for his failure to create conditions under which his organization abided by the NBAβs circumvention rules.
Clippers President of Business Operations Gillian Zucker is suspended without pay for one year for being primarily and directly culpable for the impermissible endorsement arrangements and for providing false and misleading statements to investigators.
Clippers President of Basketball Operations Lawrence Frank is suspended without pay for six months for his involvement with the impermissible endorsement arrangements and for approving impermissible expenses incurred by Mr. Leonard and his family.
The Clippers organization and personnel are subject to a compliance and monitoring program overseen by the league office for a period of five years.

Sure, the Raptors paid more for a 35-year-old Kawhi Leonard than they did for a 28-year-old Kawhi... but they've now acquired him TWICE for fewer first-round picks than it cost to land the following players once: Paul George, Mikal Bridges, Rudy Gobert, James Harden, Kevin Durant

The Long Lake wildfire in West Dalhousie, which began in summer 2025, is now considered extinguished after the completion of recent aerial hot spot scanning.
Thank you to DNR crews, volunteer fire departments, and all partners who helped manage this wildfire.

His name is Nazgul, a "stubborn but sweet" Czechoslovakian wolfdog. An official knows his owners and recognized him and called them. Nazgul lives at a nearby bed-and-breakfast and escaped when the owners were out to watch the biathlon event.

Rescue - MARS responded to a young beached pilot whale call in Cow Bay after walkers discovered the animal on shore.
Checking the health of the animal, MARS assembled rescue floats and transported the whale far enough from shore for it to openly swim.
