What happened: Law Murray stated that former Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling would still maintain control of the franchise today if 'V' had not met TMZ. Sterling operated the team for 33 years. The comment responded to a question regarding how the NBA permits certain individuals to purchase franchises.
Why it matters: Murray asserted the league 'does not care' about the ownership standards in question. The NBA allowed Sterling to retain the Clippers for over three decades before his eventual departure.
What to watch: The Los Angeles Clippers are currently navigating the 2026 NBA offseason.
