Clippers' Updated NBA Draft Picks After Forfeiting 5 1st-Rounders in Kawhi-Ballmer Probe

The Los Angeles Clippers' future draft capital took a major hit after the team was penalized by the NBA for violating the salary cap circumvention rules in the league's collective bargaining agreement on Wednesday.

The Clippers will forfeit five first-round picks in 2029, 2030, 2031, 2032, and 2033. The Clippers also received the Toronto Raptors' first-round picks in 2031 and 2033 as part of the trade that sent Leonard back to his former team on June 30.

The trade was put on hold while the NBA's investigation was conducted.
