The Indiana Pacers star asked Clark if she'll be supporting her alma mater, the Iowa Hawkeyes, or the Iowa State Cyclones, where his brother played football as a backup quarterback.

"What's up, y'all?" Haliburton said. "It's Tyrese Haliburton here in Ames at Big Noon Kickoff. You know who I'm rocking with. I'm rocking with the Cyclones, of course."

"Tell them to find me, too," Haliburton said.

The LA Clippers are currently under investigation by the NBA after Pablo Torre's report about the franchise circumventing the salary cap. A former employee of the now-bankrupt company Aspiration revealed that Leonard signed a $28 million "no-show" job.

Clippers owner Steve Ballmer, who invested $50 million in Aspiration, has denied the allegations against the franchise.
