Stephen Curry says he is not surprised by the NBA’s punishment of the Los Angeles Clippers and owner Steve Ballmer related to a salary cap investigation involving Kawhi Leonard. Curry characterizes the league’s response as reasonable, aligning with the NBA’s stance on the matter.
The outlets report Curry’s comments as consistent across their coverage, with both highlighting his view that the league’s penalties follow the investigation’s findings. The reports frame his remarks as an endorsement of the league’s decision-making rather than as criticism of the outcome. While the articles emphasize his “honest verdict” and his “sides with NBA” position, they do not introduce material differences in the core facts of what the NBA did or why.
Overall, both sources focus on Curry’s reaction to the NBA’s disciplinary action and the implied intent behind it: enforcing salary cap rules connected to the Clippers’ roster construction around Leonard.
