Pacers' Pick Owed To LA Clippers To Be Forfeited In Leonard Punishment The Los Angeles Clippers are set to forfeit a first round pick from the 2023 draft as a result of the NBA's disciplinary action against them for mishandling Kawhi Leonard's contract.
This punishment is directly tied to the Pacers' own situation, which involves a protected future draft pick.
As part of the Paul George trade in 2018, the Indiana Pacers were owed a first round pick from the Clippers if they failed to reach the playoffs for five consecutive years.
