NBA to hold news conference Tuesday on Donald Sterling investigation
The NBA will hold a 2 p.m. ET news conference Tuesday in New York to make an announcement about its investigation involving Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling, vice president of communications Mike Bass said Monday in a news release.
An audio recording was released over the weekend of a conversation between a man alleged to be Sterling having a conversation with his girlfriend making several racist statements.
It set off a firestorm of response from NBA players, former players and owners. Adam Silver, who has been commissioner since David Stern's retirement in February, faces his first major issue dealing with this matter.
Sterling did not attend Sunday's game between the Clippers and the Golden State Warriors at the Oracle Arena in Oakland. No word yet on if he will be at Game 5 at the Staples Center Tuesday.
