During Sterling-related press conferences in last year’s playoffs, Doc Rivers seemed very troubled by the entire situation. You got the feeling that if it were not the playoffs, at the very least, he may have stepped away fro a bit.
According to the additional reports, if Sterling is still the owner by the time next season begins, he may walk away entirely.
Sterling just filed another lawsuit against the NBA (and his wife), so there appears to be no end in sight. You get the sense Sterling is just fighting for fighting’s sake.
Per Richard Parsons, interim CEO of the Clippers:
“Doc is troubled by this maybe more so than anybody else,” Parsons said. “If Mr. Sterling continues as owner, he does not want to continue as coach.”
