ESPN reporter Baxter Holmes wrote an article about Leonard and the Clippers.

It is reported that the Clippers violated regulations and privately inquire about Leonard's injury as early as 2017. It is understood that the Clippers contacted former Clippers fitness coach Sheldon for the first time in 2017 to seek private health information about Leonard, who also played for the Spurs at the time, and said it needed to be kept confidential. The two sides had about 15 calls and had at least seven talks, and the Clippers tried to learn more about Leonard's contractual obligations with the Spurs and his health.

A former Clippers employee said: "The team cannot hope that the NBA will thoroughly investigate Leonard again, the matter is too bad."
