The US Open always brings out the stars. Kawhi Leonard happened to be one of them on Friday amid his scandal involving the Los Angeles Clippers and owner Steve Ballmer.

A report alleges the Clippers funneled $28 million to Leonard through a team sponsor to circumvent the salary cap where Ballmer invested $50 million in the the company Aspiration, and it signed Leonard to a $28-million no-show contract. The company has since gone bankrupt.

It’s now a major scandal the NBA is investigating, which could lead to harsh penalties for both the Clippers and Leonard.

Despite all that, the 34-year-old, two-time NBA champ Leonard made his first big public appearance since the news broke at Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York to enjoy the men’s semifinals matches.

He’s even got the headphones in doing his own thing.

Leonard will be entering his 14th season in the league and sixth with the Clippers.

He won a titles with the San Antonio Spurs in 2014, and another with the Toronto Raptors in 2019.
