Donald Sterling Banned From NBA, Clippers For Life

Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports

In a stunning announcement that is going to be felt throughout the professional sports world for decades, NBA commissioner Adam Silver has banned Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling from the team and the Association for the remainder of  his life. 

Silver held the historic press conference just hours before the Clippers are slated to host the Golden State Warriors in Game 5 of their playoff series. He has also fined Sterling $2.5 million and has recommended to the NBA Board of Governers that they force him to sell the team. The life-time ban, according to Silver, has been instituted and is independent of Sterling selling the team.

We will have more information on this late-breaking situation as it happens.
