Clippers’ Sterling Can’t Call Wife’s Lawyers to Testify

Donald Sterling, trying to stop his wife’s sale of the Los Angeles Clippers, was told he can’t force her lawyers to testify about their communications with two doctors who found him mentally incapacitated.

It would be highly unfavorable to Shelly Sterling to have her lawyers questioned by her husband’s attorneys, California Superior Court Judge Michael Levanas said at a hearing yesterday. The ruling is the latest setback for Donald Sterling in his effort to hold onto the basketball team following the outcry over racist comments he made to a girlfriend that were publicized in April.
