What happened: ESPN journalist Baxter Holmes has not published a story, appeared on television, or been active on X in the two months since covering the NBA's findings on the LA Clippers and salary cap rules. His only public activity over that span has been on his personal Instagram account.

Why it matters: The NBA's finding that no evidence existed of salary cap circumvention cleared the Clippers of potential league discipline entering the 2026-27 preseason.

What to watch: Los Angeles continues finalizing its 2026-27 preseason roster after re-signing Cam Christie to a two-way contract and adding Miye Oni on an Exhibit 10 deal.
