Clippers fined over 鈥榠mproper鈥 Jordan offer

The Los Angeles Clippers have been fined US$250,000 over an improper offer made to DeAndre Jordan last month as they attempted to re-sign the player, the National Basketball Association said on Tuesday.

A statement from the NBA headquarters said the Clippers had violated league rules prohibiting teams from offering players unauthorized business or investment opportunities. It said the violation related to a pitch made by the Clippers to Jordan on July 2 which 鈥渋mproperly included a potential third-party endorsement opportunity for the player鈥.

Jordan re-signed with the Clippers amid controversy last month after he reneged on a verbal deal with Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban to switch teams. He later apologized to Cuban for changing his mind.
