Like he said, Donald Sterling is determined to fight the sale of the Clippers as long as he’s alive, except it looks like he’s running out of options. In a recent hearing a judge ruled in favor of his wife Shelly Sterling allowing her to complete the sale of the team to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. Donald filed with the appellate court to try and stop the sale, but they ruled against him yet again.
Sterling’s lawyers said in their request for a writ of mandate that if the sale goes through, “Donald will have lost a unique and irretrievable asset: a ‘trophy asset’ coveted by high net worth individuals around the world — one of thirty NBA franchises in the country, and one that under Donald’s thirty-year ownership has recently become one of the most successful.”
Well the court quickly ruled against him. The California appellate court late Friday denied a request from deposed Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling to block the sale of the team.
This sale is going to happen and Donald is just going to have to move on.
