NBA investigation links Danijel Tajs to secret Kavaj Lenard investments

Former Los Angeles Clippers center Danijel Tajs has been tied to undisclosed ownership stakes in the American football club Rod Ajland, which also involves investor Kavaj Lenard and his advisors. A podcast investigation revealed that Lenard and his associates held secret shares in the club, while the Clippers and the NBA have found no material evidence of illegal activity by Tajs. The timing of Tajs’s release from the Indiana Pacers and his subsequent signing with the Clippers raised questions, though investigators say the connection may be coincidental.

A separate report noted that the Toronto NBA franchise rejected a deal to bring Lenard back, citing an ongoing NBA probe into alleged illegal payments received by Lenard in Los Angeles. The league’s scrutiny has stalled a high‑profile transaction that could have reshaped team rosters and draft assets.
