The NBA’s investigation into Kawhi Leonard and the LA Clippers over cap circumvention was not the only one of that nature that was ongoing. The league had also launched an investigation into the Milwaukee Bucks regarding Gary Trent Jr.‘s new contract in free agency, the results of which have not yet been made public as it’s still an active investigation.

In the meantime, Bucks head coach Taylor Jenkins was asked about the ongoing investigation into Gary Trent Jr.‘s contract prior to the team’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers, and he acknowledged that his hands were essentially tied as far as commenting on the matter, as per Cameron Ezeir of CBS 58.
“I can’t comment on that,” Jenkins responded. “My focus is on day-to-day trying to help this team build winning habits and build our culture. So everything that I’ve been talking about in press conferences, that’s what I’m leaning into with this group. Our focus is right now, how we get better, learn from what happened last night against the Knicks, all the things we’ve been working on the last couple months and try to play our best basketball tonight against the Lakers.”
