Pablo Torre says ‘more to come’ after NBA crackdown on Clippers

Pablo Torre, the journalist whose reporting led the NBA to crack down on the Los Angeles Clippers for circumventing the league salary cap rules, said he is not done with the story.

“There is more to come than is in the NBA report,” Torre said Wednesday, Sept. 2 during his podcast, Pablo Torre Finds Out. “This is not everything.”

Torre, 40, and his two co-hosts did not provide specifics. But Torre did offer a couple of hints while pointing to the findings of an investigation conducted by referring to a law firm hired by the NBA, Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz

The investigation has centered one player, Kawhi Leonard, and how the Clippers funneled him money in violation of the league’s salary cap rules after signing him in 2019, according to a summary of the law firm’s investigation. Torre cited mention in the summary of an unidentified second player.

Torre also pointed out the investigation findings did not include Dennis Wong, the Clippers’ co-owner. Steve Ballmer, the team’s controlling owner, has been suspended from all league and team activities for a year.

The NBA issued a statement that in part reads, “more information will likely surface over time.”

Said Torre, “I encourage people to dig in as we continue to cover it and investigate still, especially now that it seems like the story isn’t over yet … I always want more documents. Somehow still I’m unsatisfied with the documents.”

In May, Torre’s investigative work on the Clippers’ scandal earned him a Pulitzer Prize for audio reporting. But he also has faced criticism, largely from the Clippers.
