NBA owners to vote on Clippers sale, Sterling sues (Yahoo Sports)

[ASFN Admin]

Donald Sterling won't get to fight for his Los Angeles Clippers in front of NBA owners next week. His estranged wife negotiated the deal to sell the Clippers for $2 billion to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, saying she owns half the team and controls the family trust. A person close to the family told The Associated Press that Shelly Sterling took over the family's assets because Donald Sterling, 80, was stripped of his ability to act as a co-trustee after two neurologists determined he was suffering from dementia. On Friday, the NBA canceled next week's hearing to oust Sterling, instead moving forward to vote on whether to approve the sale to Ballmer.
