Banned Clippers owner Donald Sterling to sue NBA for $1 billion in*damages | The Point Forward - SI.com
Should be interesting...I wonder if it will ever get to court.
Disgraced Clippers owner Donald Sterling will file a lawsuit against the NBA seeking $1 billion in damages, according to his lawyer.
NBC News originally broke the story and Sterlings attorney, Max Blecher, later confirmed the report to Yahoo! Sports and ESPN.com, adding that the charges of the lawsuit include an invasion of Sterlings constitutional rights, violation of anti-trust laws and breach of fiduciary duty associated with the NBAs lifetime ban and termination charges.
Blecher also clarified that this lawsuit has nothing to do with the pending sale of the Clippers, though he told Yahoo! Sports that separate action regarding the sale was being considered.
This development comes on the heels of news that Sterling had recently been diagnosed with Alzheimers disease. Sterling was reportedly diagnosed by doctors earlier this month and on Thursday it was reported that Sterling had been declared mentally incapacitated a determination that removed him from power of the Sterling Family Trust and, by extension, the Clippers. That left Shelly Sterling as the sole trustee of the familys trust, a status which fully empowered her to sign a $2 billion agreement to sell the Clippers to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer.
