Lonzo Ball reveals that he was planning to go overseas to play basketball in Dubai last week after opening up to Gilbert Arenas about his brutal knee injury, but ultimately decided against it because he no longer has the same love for the game 😔💔
“It made it to where I can do sh*t, but it’s still gonna hurt… On offense, I can’t really go cause I can’t stop for real. It’s like I’m playing in stilts.”
“I had 3 surgeries in 14 months…”
“It just takes the joy out of it because your game changes… You physically can’t get there”
“I got hurt at 25, I got 3 All Stars, 3 All-NBAs… Each year I’m coming back, I’m injured again”
“I don’t know if my sh*t about to give out on this layup. I have full blown layups f*cked up on the Bulls. Why don’t know what’s about to happen. Like ‘Should I really be out here right now?’”

Influencers are the private equity of culture: draining whatever’s “cool” until higher prices and worse experiences push out the original fan base. Then they move on to the next thing, leaving the original to die as fans lose interest or the ability to participate.

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 NBA’s 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.
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.
