What happened: Adam Silver said the Clippers' discipline is final and said he met with Leonard before both sides agreed it was time to move forward. Leonard's trade to Toronto became official Monday after he waived a $7.45 million trade kicker.

Why it matters: The comments harden the NBA's position after the same Clippers sanctions battle cost the franchise future draft capital. They also remove another layer of uncertainty from the Clippers' 2026-27 reset after moving the face of the roster.

What to watch: The next marker is training camp, when the Clippers' post-Leonard roster starts to take shape. Any fresh NBA comment would likely center on enforcement precedent rather than a change to the penalty after Silver called it final.
