What happened: Daktronics made Intuit Dome’s Halo video screen, and multiple anonymous sources said Leonard served as a company spokesperson. The alleged arrangement is now part of the league’s review of possible salary-cap circumvention involving Leonard and the Clippers.

Why it matters: The NBA can impose multimillion-dollar fines, strip first-round picks, penalize Steve Ballmer or void Leonard’s contract if it finds a CBA violation. A voided contract would alter Leonard’s status entering the final year of his current deal.

By the numbers: The investigation already centers on Leonard’s $28 million Aspiration endorsement and the Clippers’ $300 million sponsorship with that company. Aspiration co-founder Joe Sanberg received a 14-year prison sentence in June after pleading guilty to two wire-fraud counts.

What to watch: Adam Silver has said the inquiry should conclude before next season. The law firm’s findings will determine whether the league imposes discipline.
