Multiple reports say the NBA’s investigation involving the Los Angeles Clippers and Kawhi Leonard could remain unresolved for an extended period, potentially reaching 2027. The coverage describes the inquiry as not yet complete and suggests the timeline could depend on whether the league and the parties involved come to agreement on the investigation’s conclusions.

One factor cited is whether the Clippers and related parties accept the NBA’s findings. Another is whether a settlement is reached that includes consequences for the team. If no resolution is reached—such as through agreeing on outcomes or terms tied to potential punishment—the investigation may continue into the new year and beyond.

The articles frame the matter as part of an ongoing NBA review process rather than something close to final resolution. They also note that the investigation’s duration could be affected by negotiations around findings and possible disciplinary or remedial steps. Neither report indicates that the investigation is finalized or that any specific outcome has been announced.
