Hear. We have the whole thing covered for you right here at the top of the hour with cnn sports anchor, rachel nichols. She is inside that room. We will check in with her momentarily. Of course, once the News Conference begins, i will stop talking, we will take that live, in full. A little bit of back story. Donald sterling has kept a fairly low profile since this audiotape emerged. But see this video . He, along with his wife i should say his estranged wife, were caught leaving a Los Angeles Area strount jurestaura this past sunday night. The paparazzi shouting questions at him. He himself didnt answer any questions about the audiotape, which he allegedly made. These racist remarks about africanamericans. But the comment attributed to him has ignited a firestorm in the professional sports community. Take a listen. Dont come to my games. Dont bring black people, dont come. Do you know you have a team thats black . I support them and ive given them food and clothes and cars and houses.
Broussard is with us, as well as mike wise, sports columnist from the washington post. You were there last night, chris. Describe the mood among the players and the fans.

And the fans felt it, too, because a lot of them were questionable about whether or not they should go to the game, wheth
Punished for something that sterling would argue happened in private. Right. A lot of questions. How do you do that without hurting the team, which is in the middle of a championship run, they think, had he hoep hope. Its a great time for the nba, and there are stars on this team. Blake griffin, chris paul. Its a really unusual situation thats unprecedented. Nbc news has confirmed that Donald Sterling has been fined 5 million and has been suspended indefinitely. This is according a senior nba official. It looks as if they are going to take, as you were describing, a very stiff penalty against mr. Sterling. Well, the nba has never even suspended an owner for anything else. They fined them for yelling at the refs, things like that. This is really unprecedented when this happens. Clearly theyre saying to him we dont want you here, and the hope, i guess, is that he will in some way reach some kind of agreement to get rid of ownership of the team. Now, how does that happen . Unclear. I thin
