LA Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Loses Court Saga Preventing $2 Billion Sale By Shelly Sterling To Steve Ballmer

An LA probate court ruled in favor of Shelly Sterling's authority on behalf of the Sterling Family Trust to sell the Clippers for $2 billion to former Microsoft CEO, Steve Ballmer. At the same time, Donald Sterling, owner of the LA Clippers, was prevented from blocking the deal.

After Sterling's girlfriend recorded racial slur from the Clippers boss, a preliminary investigation into the matter was summarized by the NBA spokesman Mike Bass in a statement, "We are in the process of conducting a full investigation into the audio recording obtained by TMZ. The remarks heard on the recording are disturbing and offensive, but at this time we have no further information."

The racial comments included all time NBA star Michael Jordan, who also shared his views with Anderson Cooper on CNN after Donald Sterling made other insinuations about Jordan's HIV infection and other deragotory remarks about African Americans.

Shelly Sterling's case found a way for the sale of the Clippers in light of Donald Sterling's racial remarks, which earned the 'Clipper' boss a ban from the NBA and a $2.5 million fine.

In the case of Donald Sterling, there's no telling what he will do next, and his lawyers say he will fight the verdict.
