On this episode of the Heat Check, Trysta breaks down the insane scandal rocking the NBA uncovered by Pablo Torre — Steve Ballmer, the Clippers, and Kawhi Leonard at the center of a potential Aspiration deal that may have been used to circumvent the salary cap. A blockbuster story that could come with serious punishments and reshape how the league views sponsorships and contracts.

Trysta also looks at projected travel miles for every NBA team, the Mavericks locking in PJ Washington — and the off-court controversy with Brittany Renner — plus Ben Simmons retirement rumors, James Harden’s Houston restaurant shutting down, and the league’s plan to revamp the All-Star Game into a new round-robin format. To close, Trysta dives into EuroBasket storylines and the latest contract disputes.
