A limited partner with the LA Clippers reportedly sent nearly $2 million to a now-bankrupt company that allegedly gave Kawhi Leonard an endorsement deal for a "no-show job" less than 10 days before the star forward was paid $1.75 million by the company, the podcast "Pablo Torre Finds Out" reported Thursday. The company, Aspiration, reportedly agreed to a $28 million endorsement deal with Leonard in 2021.

Their dreams were crushed when he opted to sign with the Clippers instead, but as the past week has proven, Kawhi's decision to go to LA kept Toronto away from a nightmare situation.

no-show job.
