INGLEWOOD, Calif. -- Kawhi Leonard said he doesn't "think it's accurate" that he performed no services for Aspiration, the now-bankrupt green banking company and LA Clippers team sponsor with which he signed a lucrative endorsement contract.
"I understand the full contract and the services that I had to do. I don't deal with the conspiracies or the clickbait analysts or journalism that's going on," Leonard said Monday in his first public comments about the scandal, first reported by the "Pablo Torre Finds Out" podcast.
Asked specifically by ESPN if he ever performed services for what Torre reported was a four-year, $28 million contract, Leonard said, "I don't think it's accurate. But it's old. This is all new to you guys. The company went bankrupt a while ago."
