Steve Ballmer banned from NBA functions for year. What does a suspension look like for an owner?

The NBA announced on Tuesday that Los Angeles Clippers owner Steve Ballmer has been banned from all league functions for one year due to his alleged role in a scheme to circumvent the league's salary cap for player Kawhi Leonard. A law firm hired by the NBA to investigate found that Ballmer knowingly participated in the effort. Ballmer, who has owned the Clippers since 2014 and is one of the world's wealthiest individuals, intends to fight the suspension.
