NBA insider Chris Haynes reported Thursday that the LA Clippers are being sued by a former coach who accused the team of wrongful termination and “unlawful” treatment for Kawhi Leonard’s injuries.

Via Haynes: “Former Los Angeles Clippers coach Randy Shelton is suing the franchise for wrongful termination, among other things, after claiming he was fired after complaining that Kawhi Leonard was subjected to dangerous and illegal treatment for injuries.”

Haynes also provided a statement from the Clippers that said: “Mr. Shelton’s claims were investigated and found to be without merit. We honored Mr. Shelton’s employment contract and paid him in full. This lawsuit is a late attempt to shake down the Clippers based on accusations that Mr. Shelton should know are false.

In an update Friday, Haynes provided a statement from the NBA.

“We are reviewing court records in this matter,” the NBA said through a spokesperson.

The entire trial was shared by Haynes in a lengthy thread on X.

“Lawsuit filed today against the Clippers by Kawhi Leonard’s personal trainer that includes allegations of tampering years before the star signed,” Haynes wrote.

As Haynes added, the allegations also include tampering by the Clippers when Leonard was with the Toronto Raptors. With the NBA now aware of the lawsuit, it will be interesting to see what their review produces.
