“The views expressed by Mr. Donald Sterling are deeply offensive and harmful. I am personally distraught that the views expressed by Mr. Sterling came from within an institution that has historically taken such a leadership role in matters of race relations.
To the players and pioneers of the game, in particular Magic Johnson, I apologize.
Effective immediately, I am banning Mr. Sterling from the NBA for life.
Mr. Sterling may not attend any NBA games or practices. He may not be present at any Clippers facilities and he will also be barred from attending NBA board meetings.
I am also fineing Mr. Sterling 2.5 million, the maximum amount allowed under the NBA Constitution.”
