Shelly Sterling has been making waves about fighting to keep the Clippers, but according to the NBA it doesn’t matter what she wants to do, she will be shown the door just like her Husband.
Via league spokesman Mike Bass:
“Under the NBA Constitution, if a controlling owner’s interest is terminated by a 3/4 vote, all other team owners’ interests are automatically terminated as well. It doesn’t matter whether the owners are related as is the case here. These are the rules to which all NBA owners agreed to as a condition of owning their team.”
I expect a long court battle over this even though it appears the NBA has the upperhand.
