NBA Commissioner Adam Silver banned Donald Sterling for life from the NBA and will pressure other NBA Board of Governors to sell.
DEVELOPING: Los Angeles Clippers owner, Donald Sterling, has been banned for life from dealings with the NBA and fined the maximum allowable amount of $2.5 million for discrimination, NBA commissioner Adam Silver announced Tuesday.
In a press conference, Silver also said they will force Sterling to sell the team, and claimed he had the other owners’ and members’ of the team’s full support. He will have to go to the Board of Governors for 75 percent approval to force out Sterling, who did say earlier this morning that he would not sell the Clippers.
Sterling reportedly did not know the decision before Silver announced it, and did pick up the phone for comment. He confirmed he didn’t know the decision beforehand, but would not offer a comment.
Sterling was engulfed in controversy after recordings emerged of him making discriminatory comments about black Americans.
