NBA to appoint CEO for Clippers
The NBA said on Saturday it will appoint a chief executive officer to supervise the Los Angeles Clippers' operations after banning owner Donald Sterling from the league for life. The league announced its decision a few hours before the Clippers faced the Golden State Warriors in Game 7 of their first-round playoff series. On Tuesday, NBA commissioner Adam Silver banned Sterling for racist comments made on an audio recording, fined him $2.5 million and urged league owners to force him to sell the team.
