The hits just keep coming for Donald Sterling. Well sort of. The sale of his team went through earlier today and since it sold for $2 BILLION he can’t feel that badly about it. However, he can feel bad about the NBA suing him for contesting the sale:
League source confirms @BA_Turner report that NBA has countersued Donald Sterling in federal court.

NBA seeks damages and expenses related to Sterling's ouster and its investigation of the owner's federal suit against the league.

Also, NBA seeks enforcement of agreements indemnifying league against losses and litigation in the Sterling matter.

Basically what happened was when Donald agreed to the sale, it was slipped in the agreement that he couldn’t fight the NBA in court about it. He did it anyway, so now they are looking to recoup the money they have spent. Even though the sale is final, this whole thing isn’t quite over.
