Right now, the NBA is only evaluating and deciding what punishments might be handed out to the figures involved.
“The investigation, I think, is over now. The NBA is kind of sifting through what the law firm they hired has found, deciding whether there’s a punishment or not that it wants to levy,” Vorkunov said.
“The process forward is a little bit complicated. They can maybe reach a settlement if they feel like there’s a punishment and something to do there with the Clippers and Steve Ballmer. The NBPA will get involved, and obviously Kawhi if there’s something there for him too. … There’s an appeals process that’s also written into the CBA, so that can make the process go even longer. There’s a bit of a known unknown here coming up.”
