The article reports new allegations surrounding Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers’ ongoing NBA salary-cap investigation. According to reporting by Pablo Torre and Hunterbrook Media, Leonard allegedly received a multimillion-dollar sponsorship deal from Daktronics, the company that built the video board at the Clippers’ Intuit Dome, despite reportedly doing no visible work for the company. Sources described the arrangement as potentially another way to funnel money from the Clippers to Leonard and circumvent the NBA’s salary cap, similar to the previously reported deal involving now-defunct company Aspiration. The allegations are particularly notable because Daktronics is a business-to-business company with little apparent reason to use a celebrity endorsement, and a former employee reportedly said the company had never had a similar arrangement. The Clippers have denied wrongdoing, while the NBA continues its investigation into Leonard, team owner Steve Ballmer and the organization. The investigation has already complicated a potential Leonard trade to Toronto, and while Commissioner Adam Silver hopes to resolve the matter before the upcoming season, reports suggest it could remain unresolved until 2027.

This article explains how Minnesota Lynx guard Kayla McBride made WNBA history on Sunday by setting a new single-game record with 10 three-pointers in the Lynx’s 103-90 victory over the Dallas Wings. McBride, a five-time All-Star and four-time EuroLeague champion, had an incredible shooting performance, making 10 of her 14 attempts from behind the three-point line and finishing with a career-high 43 points. Her record-breaking tenth three-pointer came with just 2:23 left in the game and gave the Lynx a 98-83 lead. The Target Center crowd celebrated loudly as McBride left the game with 1:21 remaining, giving her a standing ovation for her historic performance. Her achievement broke the previous WNBA record of nine three-pointers in a single game, a mark that had been reached eight times before. McBride’s performance also helped the Lynx set a new franchise record for three-pointers in one game, as the team made 18 of 39 attempts from beyond the arc. The victory improved Minnesota’s record to 27-7 and marked its 12th win in its last 13 games. The Lynx also became the first team in the WNBA to clinch a playoff spot this season. After the game, McBride thanked the Minneapolis fans and the organization for their support, explaining that Minneapolis has become home to her and that she feels loved and appreciated by the fans. She also reflected on her 13-year WNBA career and said that returning to Minnesota in the offseason had been an important decision. The historic game showed how much McBride has grown as a player and how strongly she connects with the Lynx and their fans, making the record-breaking performance an especially meaningful moment for both McBride and the team.
