The NBA is investigating whether the LA Clippers skirted salary cap rules by funneling money to Kawhi Leonard through sponsorships—despite the league saying no direct evidence links owner Steve Ballmer to the deals. While the Clippers insist it’s routine player-sponsor introductions, the NBA disputes ESPN’s report and claims they didn’t cooperate with the story. The probe could derail a July trade that would’ve sent Kawhi to Toronto, with both sides locked in a standoff over the truth.

A daring one-year-old grizzly bear named Fitz escaped his Calgary Zoo enclosure over the weekend, scaling tall barriers and dodging electric wires — all before the zoo opened. Found safe and healthy the next morning, he was tranquilized without harm. No public danger occurred, and police stood by as Fitz seemed more curious than menacing. The zoo is now investigating how the escape happened, with Fitz and his brother Turner temporarily relocated to a secure area while upgrades are planned to prevent future escapes.
