Former ref Tim Donaghy on the NBA betting scandal I received a text from FBI agent that said they cant cover this up the way they did with my case David Stern really ran that whole investigation and it got shut down by highest level of people

Pablo Torre claims he will be doing an investigation into NBA Referees

Adam Silver answers Pablo Torre's question regarding the growing concern that wealthy individuals and entities are using the approval of the NBA to purchase credibility in the eyes of the public meaning fans and whether he plans on changing anything about the due diligence process

PTFO The DOJ could build a criminal conspiracy case against Steve Ballmer and the Clippers for securities fraud in the Kawhi Leonard scandal per former federal prosecutors Even in 2026 a creative theory could map out a road to jail time And thats before the US president gets involved

Stephen A Smith on Kawhi Hes a gangster I mean to sit up therehe broke the rules got caught pointed the finger at somebody else threw the organization under the bus got his money and left the country I mean damn how much better can it get than that

Adam Silver I think that in terms of Steve's Ballmer statement I'd say putting aside the precise words he chose to use Most importantly he indicated a willingness to accept the league's decision in this case and the accompanying sanctions so that's initially what I was most focused on

Zach Lowe Adam should we understand that the Clippers punishment is final or is it still open to some sort of renegotiation in the vein of the Timberwolves with Joe Smith Adam Silver The discipline is final
