NBA President Xiao Hua met with the media after the NBA board meeting and talked about the investigation into the Clippers' suspected evasion of the salary cap.

Xiao Hua said: "When the news broke, it was also news for me. To be honest, I have never heard of Aspiration, nor have Leonard's endorsement contract or any cooperation with the Clippers. These are brand new to me, I have heard some news and seen subsequent information. I have experienced allegations in the league, and it has been a long time since I believe in procedural justice and fairness. Now we need to make the investigation follow the process."
