A Clippers Sale

摘要

For the Los Angeles Clippers, a national nightmare finally appears to be over. On July 28, a probate judge in California ruled that Rochelle "Shelly" Sterling can proceed with the team's proposed $2 billion sale to ex-Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. (The decision will become official when the judge files his written version.) Her estranged husband, disgraced Clippers owner Donald Sterling-who called his wife a "pig" at one point during the proceedingstried to block the transaction but to no avail. The judge invoked a section of California law that permits the deal to go forward if and when Sterling makes any appeals.
