Steve Ballmer, owner of the Los Angeles Clippers, has decided not to fight the NBA's punishment for salary cap circumvention. The team had initially vowed to fight the punishment, calling the investigation "heavily biased." However, Ballmer has now stated that the team will comply with the penalties, which include a one-year suspension for him, a $30 million fine, and the forfeiture of five first-round draft picks.
